Some 350 million are growing in all 50 U.S. states, and at least 25 million of them are cut and purchased each year.
Last year, the National Christmas Tree Association developed a guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree sellers to follow. They include frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, counter-tops, door handles and restrooms.
