Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Portland

Portland, ME — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most quintessential holiday traditions in 2020, it could still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.. And during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure locals can select a tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a 2020 guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.
