@cbsnews: Nestled in North Carolina’s Blue Ridge Mountains, the Cartner Family has spent decades growing their beloved farm from plots of cabbage, cows and beans to a sprawling 500 acres dedicated to Christmas trees. But when Hurricane Helene swept through in September, it fueled a mudslide that wiped as many as 6,000 trees. But not all were destroyed, and one of those surviving Fraser firs — a 20-footer named Treemendous — is now spending Christmas at the White House “to represent … all those good things of mankind that we need to stop and recognize.” #christmastree #christmastreefarm #whitehouse #hurricanehelene #northcarolina #fraserfir #newland
