Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Hopewell-Pennington

Hopewell-Pennington, NJ — As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most well-loved holiday traditions in 2020, it should still be possible to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

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.. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the coronavirus pandemic to ensure shoppers can take home their ideal tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a new guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms.

An onsite "COVID-19 coordinator" and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged at the farms.
