We are proud to announce we have won "UK Champion Grower of the year".

Anxious about purchasing your first real tree? Or looking for a little Christmas excitement? Either way our handy guide shows the benefits of real Christmas trees.

From needle holders, to a scent that screams Christmas, all of our trees are different! From the novice to a seasoned tree expert, it can sometimes be difficult to know your tree, that’s why we are on a mission to help inform and help people choose the perfect tree for them. Our handy guide will give you all the information you need, without overwhelming nor scaring you.

From mince pies to muddy feet, there’s so much to do here at Keele, and we’d feel amiss if we didn’t guide you along your way. So have a read, grab a tea, and we’ll guide you towards your next family tree. 

So, you’ve got your new tree! Yay! All is well, the smell is great, the look is beautiful, but just like a pair of new trainers on a muddy path, it’s going to get damaged. It’s just natural, and as you would nurture a plant pot or a vegetable garden, our trees too, need a bit of TLC, (tree loving care). So, sit back, take notes and learn from the very best.

To the tree novice it can be difficult to spot the perfect Christmas tree, that’s why we’ve made this handy blog by consulting with our tree experts, chief growers and harvesters to help you when picking out your real tree.

There’s nothing that beats a real Christmas tree and yes we may be a little bit biased, okay very biased, but it really is something else. See having grown up on Christmas tree farms, we have had the opportunity to witness the smells, the feel and of course the annual Christmas day pictures around the tree.

For most of us, Christmas is our favourite season. We long for December to arrive because the countdown is on - 25 days, 600 hours, 36,000 minutes...need I go on?
