Dublin, CA — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it should still be possible to find the perfect Christmas tree for your family this year — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as COVID-19 cases rise to ensure shoppers can take home a tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a 2020 guide full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.
