CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Note: Embedded video is from previous story. Every year, a different national forest is selected to provide a tree for the U.S. Capitol building, and this year's tree came from the Pisgah National Forest in North Carolina.  This is the third time a tree from Pisgah National Forest will provide a Christmas Tree for the U.S. capitol, having previously provided trees in 1998 and 1974. 78-foot tall, Ruby the red spruce, hit the road at the beggining of November to start it's 14 day long tour across 17 cities from western North Carolina, to Washington D.
