Harrisburg, PA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s iconic holiday traditions, it may still be possible to take your family on a hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

Did you know that 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.?
