Where To Find Christmas Trees In 2020 In The Mineola Area

Mineola, NY — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most quintessential holiday traditions in 2020, it might still be possible to find the ideal Christmas tree for your family — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states. And during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as coronavirus cases rise to ensure patrons can select their ideal tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has created a new 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. Maximum head counts and personal protective equipment for employees are also being encouraged.
