Open 7 days a weekAt Millbrook every Christmas tree has a story. Our plant team work hard to source the best quality, cut and potted trees we can, from the most sustainable suppliers. This year we are working with two amazing growers from across the British Isles to offer you premium Christmas trees you can trust. Read on to find out more about our trees, then pop in-store to choose your perfect festive centrepiece.
Premium Nordman Fir Christmas Trees
The Emerald Group in Ireland has been growing for over 30 years. They manage over 350 hectares of Christmas tree plantations and are the largest supplier of quality Christmas Trees across both Ireland and the UK.
Our Premium Cut Nordman Firs are supplied by Emerald and they’re ‘premium’ because they are the top 10% of trees handpicked from across their plantations. They are our most popular tree because they have soft, fluffy needles that hold well and plenty of space underneath for presents. It can take up to 12 years to carefully nurture one of these luxury trees. The seedlings spend the first 3 years in a specialist nursery, prior to being planted in an Emerald Christmas tree plantation. From years 5 to 6 onwards, skilled staff start subtly hand-shaping the tree. By controlling its height and width, they help nature produce the perfect tree for your festive home.
Emerald are committed to sustainable growing. They grow on agricultural land rather than felling in forests, and choose the most fertile soil to limit the need for fertilisers or chemicals. For every tree they cut, they plant at least one more and their plantations are habitats to a range of local wildlife and insects.

British Norway Spruce and Pot-Grown Christmas Trees
Our Premium Cut Norway Spruce and pot-grown trees, are supplied by Lovinia nurseries in Preston, one of our most trusted and longstanding growers. They buy their tree seedlings from sustainable plantations and only grow on agricultural land, ensuring 1.5 trees are planted for everyone harvested.
As a grower they follow a strict traceability process - going above the Defra and Forestry commission recommendations. Every tree is traced from the plantation, through the harvest process to its final delivery point. Plant passports are applied, and inspections carried out for all pot grown trees and 3m plus trees.
Their Norway Spruce trees are what we would recognise as a traditional tree. They have a lovely festive pine scent and are tall and slim with dark green needles. Their pot-grown trees are grown in 10L root system pots that allow the feeder roots to protrude out of the pot, while containing the main root within. This ensures they can better root growth when they are moved to their new home.
The biodegradable netting on all their trees is also recyclable. It trialled for the first time a couple of years ago with great success, winning the new product award at the GLEE show for green innovation.
