Gigantic evergreen tree brings Christmas spirit to Arizona Capitol. How it got there

The holiday spirit has arrived on the steps of the Arizona Capitol.

San Carlos Apache Tribal Chairman Terry Rambler gifted a 40-foot ponderosa pine tree to Gov. Katie Hobbs on Monday. The tree arrived at the capital on Friday.

“We know this tree will be used to spread holiday warmth and cheer, and it is our hope that it will further serve as a reminder of the natural beauty that exists within our great state and the deep roots the San Carlos Apache have in this region,” Rambler said.

The San Carlos Apache Tribe and the Arizona Department of Forestry and Fire Management picked out the enormous tree from the Point of Pines area, northeast of Globe. Together, they harvested it on Nov. 22.

“The Capitol Christmas tree from the San Carlos Apache Tribe is a beautiful gift to Arizona,” Hobbs said in a statement. “We are honored to receive a tree from a Tribal nation for the second year in a row. As we deepen relationships with Tribal communities, this tree celebrates the vibrant cultures that make Arizona so special.”

Due to its enormous size, the now decked-out tree was cut down to 20 feet to fit within the Capitol Rotunda.

A lighting ceremony will be held on Monday.

The ponderosa pine, a type of yellow pine, lives at elevations typically above 5,000 feet along the Mogollon Rim and other higher elevations in Arizona. The San Carlos Apache Tribal Reservation is noted for one of the largest contiguous stands of this evergreen conifer in the world.

ASU vs. Arizona: Territorial Cup history and results

Every time Arizona and Arizona State match up in the Territorial Cup, regardless of record for either team, it just matters.

The 2024 Territorial Cup sets up to be monumental in the rivals’ first season after leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12. ASU can make the conference title game in 255 of 256 scenarios that include seven games and nine teams in the Big 12.

The favorites in the conference despite nine teams still in the running to win it, the Sun Devils just need to worry about a win. Either way, it’s been a remarkable turnaround for head coach Kenny Dillingham in his second year on the job.

After all, Arizona State was picked in the Big 12 preseason media poll to finish last in the conference.

For Arizona, a disappointing season without bowl possibilities comes down to going off on the right note in head coach Brent Brennan’s first season. The Wildcats play in front of a home crowd that will likely watch its last game of receiver Tetairoa McMillan, who last week set the program record for receiving yards and is projected to become a first-round NFL Draft pick.

The Sun Devils and Wildcats meet up for a 1:30 p.m. MST kickoff in Tucson that will air on FOX, Arizona Sports, the Arizona Sports app and ArizonaSports.com.

Here’s a little thumbnail history of what this heated rivalry game has looked like since the two schools joined the Pac-10 in 1978 before their final game in the Pac-12 Saturday.
