Where To Find A Christmas Tree In 2020 Near Maplewood-Brentwood

Maplewood-Brentwood, MO — As the COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s beloved holiday traditions, it should still be possible to find the perfect Christmas tree for your family — and most 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 as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens to ensure locals can select their perfect tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a 2020 guide with 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.
