Christmas Tree Farms In The Pasadena Area: Your 2020 Guide

Pasadena, CA — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s beloved holiday traditions, it may still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family — 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 coronavirus cases rise to ensure locals can take home their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has released a special guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms. Special signage and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged.

"We highly encourage growers to use these recommendations to develop strategies to protect their workers and customers," the association said in its guide, and "wholesale growers should share the recommendations for tree lots with their customers. Having a COVID-19 plan for your business is an imperative."
