Following the toppling of the National Christmas tree in a wind storm a few weeks ago, a new National Christmas Tree was planted on the Ellipse last Saturday. A 26 1/2 foot Colorado blue spruce, it comes from a nursery in New Jersey. While not a little tree, it has some growing to do before it can match the 42 foot height of the tree that toppled over.
I have included a picture of it that I took on Sunday in a new set of pictures of trees.

It's not quite 2.0, but the history is too convoluted for me to come up with an accurate version number for this tree.

Yes, but Christmas Tree 6.0 or 7.0 does not sound as catchy, so I took some poetic license with the number.
