Wakefield Christmas Tree Farm Guide For 2020

Wakefield, MA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most quintessential holiday traditions in 2020, it could still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the right Christmas tree — and most importantly, do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as COVID-19 cases rise 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 including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers 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.
