Where To Find A Christmas Tree Near Fremont

Despite the pandemic, it may still be possible to safely find a great Christmas tree this year within driving distance of Fremont.

Fremont, CA — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most quintessential holiday traditions in 2020, it may still be possible to find the right Christmas tree for your family this year — and most importantly, do it safely.

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 during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens to ensure locals can select their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

Tree lot operators and choose-and-cut farms "must protect the health and safety of their employees, provide customers with the confidence they need so they can enjoy selecting a tree without risk and demonstrate to state and local officials they are conducting business responsibly," the the National Christmas Tree Association said on its website this year.
