Christmas Tree Farms In The Needham Area: Your 2020 Guide

Needham, MA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most beloved holiday traditions in 2020, it may still be possible to find the right Christmas tree for your family — and more importantly, 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.. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to ensure shoppers 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 full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow. Sellers are advised to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.

Special signage and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged at the farms.
