Where To Find A Christmas Tree In 2020 Near Cornelius

Cornelius, NC — As the ongoing coronavirus pandemic threatens some of America's most beloved holiday traditions in 2020, it may still be possible to hunt for the right Christmas tree — 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 the coronavirus pandemic worsens to ensure locals can take home a tree with minimal risk to their health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has circulated a special guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow. The guide advises sellers to frequently sanitize items such as hand saws and tree cart handles, as well as countertops, restrooms and other areas.
