Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Northborough

Northborough, MA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most iconic holiday traditions in 2020, it should still be possible to find the right Christmas tree for your family this year — and most importantly, do it safely.

Did you know that 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.? And 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 health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a new guide with recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers 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. Maximum head counts and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged.
