Christmas Tree Shopping Near Pleasant Hill? Here's A Local Guide

Pleasant Hill, CA — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s quintessential holiday traditions, it may still be possible to find the right Christmas tree for your family — and most importantly, do it safely.

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