WASHINGTON (AP) - Strong winds have knocked down a tree on the White House's North Lawn.
The tree appeared to have been snapped off near its base during a storm Tuesday afternoon. The large tree had stood between Pennsylvania Avenue and the West Wing.
White House spokesman Bill Burton says it was a European linden. Grounds crews on Wednesday will grind up the tree to use it for mulch.
Burton says the tree was planted in 1940 but not by a president to mark a special occasion.
