The Nordmann Fir is from York and took a team of 30 to set in place.
The tree will be a grand centrepiece of Castle Howard’s Wizard of Oz-themed Christmas experience and will be dressed with more than 3,000 baubles.
Christmas at Castle Howard with the Wonderful Wizard of Oz opens to visitors on November 13.
