Congratulations to Rusty, Beau and the entire Estes family, the NCTA 2021 Grand Champion Growers, on delivering a beautiful 18 1/2 foot Fraser Fir to the First Lady at the White House!
On the 12th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a memory my family will have forever. The average family only uses an artificial tree for six to nine years before throwing it away, where it will remain in a landfill indefinitely. #makingmemories#family#farmgrown
Today I welcomed the arrival of the beautiful @WhiteHouse Christmas Tree! We are excited to begin decorating the People's House for the holiday season! #WHChristmas
On the 11th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, an environmentally-friendly Real Christmas Tree. Lead can be found in artificial trees. The potential for lead poisoning is great enough that fake trees made in China are required by California Prop 65 to have a warning label.
Since 1966, the arrival of the White House Christmas Tree has become an iconic holiday tradition. This year’s tree, a lovely 18 1/2 foot Fraser Fir from Dan and Bryan Trees of West Virginia, will arrive tomorrow at the @WhiteHouse North Portico. #WHChristmas
On the 10th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a beautiful, American-grown Real Christmas Tree. Most artificial trees (85%) sold in the U.S. are imported from China, according to the U.S. Commerce Department. #christmas#farmgrown#Christmas2020
On the 9th day of Christmas my true love
gave to me, the amazing sweet scent of a Real
Christmas Tree. A real Christmas Tree not only looks
great but waking up to that sweet smell is the best!

On the 8th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, special family memories you'll have for a lifetime when you buy a Real Christmas Tree! It's not just buying a tree, it's creating special moments you'll have forever. #RealChristmasTrees#farmgrown#makingmemories#family
On the 7th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a stronger planet by buying a Real Christmas Tree! When you buy a Real Christmas Tree, you help stabilize the soil, protect water supplies and support complex
eco-systems. #realchristmastrees#farmgrown
On the 6th day of Christmas my true love gave to me, the gift of giving by purchasing a Real Christmas Tree! When you buy a Real Christmas Tree, you support local businesses and farmers all across North America! #RealChristmasTrees#NationalChristmasTreeAssociation#farmgrown
On the 2nd day of Christmas my true love gave to me, a biodegradable Christmas Tree! Real Christmas Trees are biodegradable, which means they can be easily reused or recycled for mulch and other purposes! #RealChristmasTrees#NationalChristmasTreeAssociation#Christmas
The White House has selected the 2020 Christmas Tree!
Dan and Anne Taylor, 2020 NCTA Grand Champion growers, will provide this beautiful Fraser Fir from their farm to the White House in late November.
