Fresh Christmas Trees in Brandon, Weeting and Santon Downham
Living on the edge of Thetford Forest, people in Brandon, Weeting and Santon Downham know better than most how long a tree takes to grow. A Christmas tree is no different. Before it ever reaches your living room, it has spent years in a field being tended by a grower. This page follows that life, from seedling to your front door.
What Happens in a Christmas Tree's Life Before It Reaches You?
| Stage | What happens |
|---|
| The early years | Young trees are planted out on British farms and given space to grow. |
| Growing season after season | Growers shape the trees each year so they develop an even, full outline. |
| The best part of a decade | A family-sized Nordmann Fir is usually around this age when it is ready. |
| Late in the season | The tree is cut close to Christmas, not weeks or months ahead. |
| The final two days | Our team collects it fresh and brings it to Brandon as little as two days after cutting. |
Why Do the Last Two Days Count Most?
Years of careful growing can be undone if a tree waits too long between cutting and water. That is why, throughout December, we go to our chosen growers every day to pick up fresh-cut trees ourselves. The shorter that final stretch, the softer the needles and the stronger the scent when the netting comes off in your home.
Respecting the tree: once it arrives, stand it in water straight away and top up the reservoir every day. After Christmas, our Recycle & Removal Service collects it so it can be recycled rather than wasted.
Which Tree Suits a Brandon Home?
Premium Nordmann Fir is our most popular indoor tree, with soft, glossy needles that hold well when watered. Standard Nordmann Fir offers the same needles with a more natural, forest-grown look. For an outdoor display, a Norway Spruce Tree brings the scent of the woods to your front door and is supplied for outdoor use only.
If you would like your tree to keep growing, the Potted / Rooted Christmas Tree Nordmann 4ft- 5ft can go back into the ground after the festive season.
