How Are Our Christmas Trees Grown?
When you visit our farm and see our vast range of real Christmas trees, you might wonder how they are grown and how long it takes for them to reach their majestic height and full branches. After reading this, you may be surprised at just how special your Christmas tree really is.
How Long Do Our Trees Take to Grow?
At The Real Christmas Tree Farm in Berkhamsted, we don’t just supply you and your family with top-quality Christmas trees. Nestled in the centre of Ashridge Forest, our farm grows trees in all shapes and sizes—from a Norway Spruce up to 60 feet tall to a Nordmann Fir up to 25 feet. There are no limits to growing the perfect Christmas tree for you.
From the time we plant a seed, it can take anywhere from six to ten years for it to grow and flourish into a tree fit for your living room. Some larger trees may take even longer. Throughout this growth period, we provide expert care, regularly pruning the trees to ensure they develop high-quality branches and dense foliage for your decorations.
Knowing this helps you appreciate just how special your real Christmas tree is and the amount of time and care invested in it. A high-quality tree from our farm holds far more sentimental value than an artificial tree, which is likely produced in less than an hour from unsustainable materials. Our trees are grown sustainably, providing an eco-friendly way for you to enjoy Christmas.
Can I Grow My Own Tree?
Yes! With the proper care and attention, you can grow your own Christmas tree, which will be ready for your living room in a few years. Growing your own tree helps you appreciate what goes into cultivating a real tree and highlights the difference compared to artificial ones. You will enjoy the wonderful smell and feel of a real tree straight from your garden. We recommend asking one of our experts at the farm for top tips before you start.
It’s all down to you.
At our farm, we ensure that once our trees reach their full potential, they are passed on to you with the confidence that they will last the entire festive period. However, it’s crucial that you take good care of your tree, just as we have done for the past few years. We recommend reading our blog on how to care for your tree so you can get some top tips on ensuring that your tree lasts throughout the entire festive period.
