WASHINGTON—A tradition with roots in antiquity, yet as modern as today, will be renewed this year as the nation’s capital celebrates with Christmas trees from California, Washington and Pennsylvania.
The National Community Christmas Tree is a living Colorado blue spruce transplanted from Pennsylvania to the Ellipse, south of the White House, in 1978.
But it will be joined by other trees also basking in the national spotlight.
• At the Capitol, a 60-foot Shasta red fir will be set up, following shipment from the Klamath National Forest in California.
• A similar 26-foot tree from the same source is heading for the Supreme Court.
• And the White House will be decorated with an eight-foot Fraser fir grown at the Bear Canyon Tree Farm in Washington and donated by the National Christmas Tree Asso
