Where To Buy A Christmas Tree Near Malverne-Lynbrook

Malverne-Lynbrook, NY — It might 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 sold each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.. And despite these unprecedented times, the practice will continue in 2020. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as COVID-19 cases rise to ensure buyers can select a tree with minimal health and safety risk.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a special guide full of recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing 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 in its guide.

Maximum head counts and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged at the farms.
