About us...
Clive finished his SCOTEC Diploma in Forestry in 1982
and planted his first Christmas trees in 1988. Since then there
have been plantings in 1992, 1993, 1995, 1997, 1999, 2002, 2004,
2006 and 2007 making a total count of 30,000 trees.
Sustainability
Our Christmas tree business is sustainable; we replace
all the trees we harvest. Culturing our plantations in the most
environmentally friendly way is important to us.
Integrated Pest Management (IPM)
An example of our enviro-friendly policy is IPM. By
growing grass roads in our plantations, insect pest predators are
encouraged and in conjunction with this we use insecticides which
control the pest but will not interfere with the predator. Aphid
predators which thrive in these green corridors include the Lady
Bird, the Wood Ant and the Beetle, these insects can be seen during
the winter in the grass roads.
 We
have been members of the British Christmas Tree Growers Association
since 1994.
Our workers
Local people are employed to plant, look after, harvest
and sell our tees.
Our team of workers are knowledgeable and well informed.
They will help you find the right tree and
stand. The tree will then be netted
for you and placed in your car. Please ask for help - that's why
we're here!
