Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Arcadia

Arcadia, CA — It might still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree in 2020 — and to do it safely, even as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

Did you know that at least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states? And despite these unprecedented times, the practice will continue in 2020. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic to ensure shoppers can select their perfect tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a special guide full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow. Sellers are advised to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

"It is likely that Christmas will have a greater significance for many in 2020 as we seek to offset the disruption of normalcy from COVID-19 with a family-oriented holiday experience," the association said on its website. "However, shopping for a Christmas tree, the iconic centerpiece of the holiday, will be a different experience this year as the risks from COVID-19 must be taken seriously."

Maximum head counts and social-distancing rules are also being encouraged at the farms.
