The 2023 White House Christmas Tree from Ashe County was presented on Monday.
The tree came from the farm of the National Christmas Tree Association (NCTA) Grand Champion Christmas Tree Grower Cline Church Nursery in Fleetwood.
First Lady Jill Biden was on hand as the tree arrived at the White House.
Since 1966, members of the National Christmas Tree Association have presented the official White House Christmas Tree for display in the Blue Room. Each year NCTA hosts a national tree contest at which growers, industry experts and consumers vote to select the Real Christmas Tree grower who will provide the official White House Christmas Tree. To qualify for the national contest, growers must first win their state or regional competitions.
2023 marks the 58th year a member of the National Christmas Tree Association has presented the official White House Christmas Tree.
