Madison’s official Christmas tree, an 18-foot, 800-pound blue spruce, was cut down from the front yard of Doris and Nick Wyne’s home on Montclair Street on Friday. The tree was then taken to the Broadway Fountain and erected near Main Street by workers from the city and Heitz Sign Company. Doris Wyne said she and her husband planted the tree when they moved into their home about 20 years ago. She said they decided to donate the tree to the city because it was too big for their yard. The tree will be decorated in time for the Light Up Madison event at 5:30 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 13.
