Looking For A Christmas Tree In The Redondo Beach Area? Here's A Local Guide

Redondo Beach, CA — It could 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 COVID-19 pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

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 shoppers can select their perfect tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a new guide containing recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms.

An onsite "COVID-19 coordinator" and touchless, paperless payment systems are also being encouraged at the farms.
