Where To Find A Christmas Tree In 2020 Near Detroit

Detroit, MI — As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s well-loved holiday traditions, it may still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the ideal Christmas tree this year — 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 despite these unprecedented times, the tree market is still up and running this holiday season. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the worsening coronavirus pandemic to ensure locals can take home their perfect tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a special 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.

Tree lot operators and choose-and-cut farms "must protect the health and safety of their employees, provide customers with the confidence they need so they can enjoy selecting a tree without risk and demonstrate to state and local officials they are conducting business responsibly," the association said on its website.
