Christmas Trees

Cheviot Trees have seen an increase in the demand of species used for Christmas tree production. The Cell Grown plants flexibility in planting time has enabled Christmas tree growers to plant when it suits them.

Our quality of stock grown is second to none with constant repeat orders somewhat dictating the species we grow and the volumes in which we grow them.

The fact that certain species used for the production of Christmas Trees are already running out for this current season is more evidence to suggest that the Cell Grown plant is by some growers the preferred method of production.

Our crops are looking particularly good this season, after what seems to have been a good wet summer for young trees – albeit not good for everyone else!  The superb quality we have been able to offer in recent years, have we are sure, also contributed to the current shortfall on the open market.

Customers may not be aware that we now also grow an extensive range of Christmas tree varieties in our larger 200cc plug which allows each tree more room from an early age enabling it to develop side branches from only 1yr old. The speed at which the tree develops i.e. slower and outward rather than drawn upward if grown in our traditional 110cc cell  in turn helps to produce a smaller but stockier tree with good branching habit. The demand for this product is increasing so much that should you require stock in this larger cell you consider us contract growing these for you.

The photo's below give you an indication of the quality of our trees used for Christmas Trees.
