The Rich's Great Tree, now the Macy's Great Tree (and briefly the Great Tree at Macy's), was a large 70–90-foot (21–27 m) tall cut pine Christmas tree that had been an Atlanta tradition since 1948.[1] As of 2013, the tree has been replaced by a much smaller artificial one in the parking lot, which was then moved back to the roof for 2014.[2][3][4][5] Before ending the tradition in December 2023.
