Hyattsville Christmas Tree Shopping Guide For 2020
Many local Christmas tree farms are taking precautions amid the COVID-19 pandemic to ensure you and yours have a jolly holiday.
Hyattsville, MD — As the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic threatens some of America's most iconic holiday traditions in 2020, it should still be possible to take your family on a hunt for the right 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 during this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as the COVID-19 pandemic worsens to ensure locals can take home their favorite tree with minimal risk to their family's health and safety.
In fact, the National Christmas Tree Association has developed a special guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms.
