Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 Near Long Island

Long Island, NY — It should still be possible to take your family on the hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this holiday season — and to do it safely, even as the coronavirus pandemic continues to worsen across the region.

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 during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions amid the ongoing coronavirus pandemic to ensure buyers can select their ideal tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has released a new guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow.
