which tree for you

Why is it better to buy a real Christmas tree?

There is no substitute for the lush colour and pleasant aroma of a Real tree.

NEEDLEFRESH trees have been carefully harvested by responsible growers who will replace the tree with at least two sapling tree replacements, either at the same site or nearby.

Our growers will spend up to 12 years growing, pruning and fertilising each tree to ensure you can buy a fresh, healthy and attractive tree.

There are a number of different species which are planted in order to give you the best possible choice when choosing your tree. Looking at a picture of one of our plantations, you will notice that, unlike other crops, every tree is different. This means that whichever tree you choose, you can be sure it will be unique from any other.

Whilst growing there are many factors that influence a trees growth; soil type, drainage, rainfall and height above sea level are a few examples. The grower also has to protect it from pests and diseases. The plantations provide a perfect habitat for many birds and other types of wildlife. Go to the ‘where did my tree come from’ button and follow the on screen instructions. This will enable you to find out about exactly where your tree was grown.

WHY NEEDLEFRESH?, Back in 1996 a group of dedicated growers, who were interested in improving Christmas tree growing, came together to form NEEDLEFESH. The aim was to supply the best possible quality, fresh to the customer direct from the Grower. Needlefresh trees are never wholesaled but cut packed and delivered direct to the retail outlet, within 4 days of harvesting.

This year Needlefresh are introducing a new service. WHERE WAS MY TREE GROWN. Embracing the internet - we can now show you the actual area where their tree was planted and was grown for the last few years. Look for our unique tree number, which is on the NEEDLEFRESH Quality label. This allows us to trace each tree right back to the place it was grown!

Where to buy your Tree

Needlefresh Christmas trees are grown throughout Europe, but mainly in the UK. As a general rule the shorter distant the tree travels, without cold storage, the fresher and brighter it will be for you to enjoy over the festive period. At Needlefesh we supply our retailers DIRECT, cutting the time in transit to a minimum and shortening the period from cutting in the fields to appearing in your home. This attention to detail is one of the reasons we hold such a high reputation amongst our retailers and customers.

We hope you will want to buy a Needlefresh Christmas tree and to help your plans for the festive season we have developed a postcode system for you to locate your nearest stockist.
