At Stately Hartwood Manor ...
The Christmas Tree was filmed in Pittsburgh, PA in 1996, mostly in Hartwood, a mansion managed by the Allegheny County Department of Parks. Pretty impressive, isn't it?Anyway, in the department's newsletter from Spring/Summer 2003, Recreation Superintendent Sylvia Easler describes how many visitors to Hartwood remember it from the movie but
We were extremely disappointed as we thought it would be a great item to sell in the gift shop at Hartwood.You hear that, Buena Vista? There is a market for The Christmas Tree!

personally, as the finder and coordinator of the big tree i found the movie to be a poor representation of the care, the politeness, the wonderful way we work with the tree donors to make the tree a special symbol to the world it might have worked as an hour movie but two hours was stretching content the book by julie salamon is a wonderful fun book, the movie, i think missing some of the magic
hiya my name is david murbach im the manager of the gardens division of rockefeller center the guy the movie was loosely based on i dont have a copy of this movie does anyone have one i could beg, borrow or pay for? thanks murbach@aol.com
I just found a 720p version of the whole movie on YouTube and am chrome casting it right now. Of course this relies on it remaining available on YouTube.
