The fir tree was cut at Mahantongo Valley Farms in Pitman, Pennsylvania. Owner Larry Snyder won the honor of providing the White House with its official tree after winning an annual contest held by the National Christmas Tree Association.
"I feel extremely lucky to be the person who is providing the tree to the White House," said Snyder, who has been growing Christmas trees for more than 30 years. "It's the home of the president. I feel very honored to have this opportunity to present this tree for display."
