This year, the Christmas tree in the White House’s Blue Room is from West Virginia.
The tree is from a farm in Shepherdstown, Jefferson County, called Dan and Bryan Christmas Trees. They won this year’s National Christmas Tree Association contest, earning them the right to display one of their Fraser firs in this historic room.
“Fraser firs are basically the Cadillac of Christmas trees,” said Anne Taylor who runs the Shepherdstown location and is married to co-owner Dan Taylor. “They re my favorites. They hold ornaments great. They look really nice decorated. They have some open spaces for larger ornaments.”
