Where To Buy A Christmas Tree Near Plymouth-Whitemarsh

Plymouth-Whitemarsh, PA — As the coronavirus pandemic threatens a long list of 2020’s iconic holiday traditions, it should still be possible to hunt for the perfect Christmas tree this year — and do it safely.

At least 25 million real Christmas trees are sold each year across the U.S., and currently, 350 million are growing in all 50 states.. During this unprecedented year, Christmas tree lots and choose-and-cut farms nationwide are taking precautions as coronavirus cases rise to ensure locals 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 special guide including recommendations and best practices for Christmas tree providers to follow, including frequently sanitizing items and areas such as hand saws, tree cart handles, countertops, door handles and restrooms.

"We highly encourage growers to use these recommendations to develop strategies to protect their workers and customers," the association said on its website, and "wholesale growers should share the recommendations for tree lots with their customers. Having a COVID-19 plan for your business is an imperative."
