Groton — A tree grows in Groton, and so big it requires a bucket truck to decorate it.

Chris Cote, of Sprigs & Twigs tree service division, was working from the raised bucket to hang Christmas lights Tuesday on an approximately 30-foot spruce tree in the front yard of a home in Groton Long Point.

Tree division manager Evan Groom was on the ground in radio contact with Cote.
