Billingley Christmas Trees
The Christmas Tree enterprise was introduced at Billingley in
2001. Extensive research coupled with a
lot of hard work has led to us becoming registered Growers, Suppliers and
Retailers, with a growing reputation for supplying ‘top
quality trees at competitive prices’. The majority of our trees are sourced from
the best growers in
Our retail site is floodlit, undercover and open 7 days week, 8 ‘til
late throughout December. 100’s of trees are individually
displayed to simulate an ‘indoor forest’ appearance. When you have selected your tree (which won’t
be hard), we will net it and help you into your car. Alternatively we offer a local delivery
service.
‘
Christmas Corner’ is situated within our retail site and offers a
comprehensive range of quality Christmas accessories. From Tree Stands and Decorations, to small
Gift Ideas. We even offer top quality
Artificial Trees.
Buying your tree at Billingley is truly a family experience. Wander through our plantation, see the animals on a real farm including our real Reindeer’s ‘Comet & Cupid’ and even see Santa who visits us in his grotto regularly through December.
Alternatively, you can order online for nationwide delivery at
We also welcome trade enquiries for both our Christmas Trees and Christmas Tree Stands.
Tree Varieties
Nordman
(abies nordmannia)
The most popular Christmas tree throughout Europe, the Nordman offers consistency of shape, good needle retention (often sold as 'non drop') and soft, glossy needles.
These trees are well suited for indoor use, particularly where young families or pets must be considered
Norway Spruce
(picea abies)
The traditional Christmas Tree, a Norway Spruce offers excellent value for money and a dense uniform shape.
Spruce needles are shorter and sharper than Fir varieties so please take care when handling these trees.
Spruce are the most fragrant of all Christmas Trees, thus ensuring it's ongoing popularity
Lodgepole Pine
One of the original non drop needle trees. These pines are sheared to form excellent conical shapes and have a tremendous pine fragrance.
Very similar to Scots Pines.
Fraser Fir
(abies fraseri)
A more recent addition to the UK Christmas Tree market, the Fraser Fir is popular in USA. It’s dense branches of deep green needles are equally distributed along the full length of the tree. The Fraser Fir has good needle retention and exudes a beautiful, aromatic fragrance.
Living and Potted Trees
Living
trees have been grown in their pots all their lives. *This ensures their suitability for
transplanting in to the garden after the Christmas period. These trees are approximately 1 metre in
height and are supplied in a 10 litre pot (as shown in the picture).
We offer three different varieties of living tree, which can be seen growing within our plantation. These are Nordman, Norway Spruce and Serbian Spruce.
Potted trees have been grown in open plantations until they reach suitable size. At this point, they are dug and potted in 10 litre pots with only partial roots in tact. This helps needle retention over the Christmas period, but they will half only a slim chance of survival if planted.
When buying trees in pots, take care to find out if they are potted or living. Especially if you intend to plant them in the garden after Christmas. The price is usually a good indication as potted trees tend to be cheaper
