Christmas Tree Farms Near Hatboro-Horsham: Your 2020 Guide

Hatboro-Horsham, PA — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most well-loved holiday traditions in 2020, it could still be possible to take your family on a hunt for the ideal Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are purchased each year across America, and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states. And despite these unprecedented times, the tree market is still up and running this year. Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as COVID-19 cases rise to ensure shoppers can take home their ideal tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.

In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a 2020 guide containing 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.
