Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Beverly-MtGreenwood

Beverly-MtGreenwood, IL — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most well-loved holiday traditions in 2020, it may still be possible to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree — 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 amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure buyers can take home a tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a new guide full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow. The guide advises sellers to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

"We highly encourage growers to use these recommendations to develop strategies to protect their workers and customers," the association wrote 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."
