At Leaton Forest, we have a huge variety of Christmas Trees, both ready harvested in the sales yard, or out in the plantations, where you can select and harvest your own.

We are open to the public in 2026 from Saturday 21st November until Wednesday 23rd December.

Thursday & Friday 10:00-18:00

Three ways to choose your Christmas tree

From the Yard

Choose from pre-harvested Christmas Trees, displayed on our sales yard

From the Plantation

Visit and walk amongst our plantations and select your own Christmas Tree and have us harvest it for you. Please keep in mind that, we are sometimes unable to harvest trees on the day, but we can harvest trees for collection at a later convenient date.

Cut or dig your own

If you would like to cut down or dig up your own tree, you can do this but please remember to bring all the necessary equipment. Due to health & safety we do not allow the use of any type of "power" saws on site, by the general public or customers.

Reasons to love Leaton trees

We have been growing Christmas trees for 65 years and retailing for 40 years, selling 2,000+ trees per year.

We are members of the British Christmas Tree Growers Association and adhere to BCTGA standards.

We only start cutting our trees at the end of November and then only by demand.

We care about the environment. We replace every Christmas tree we remove, ensuring that there is no net increase in carbon emissions.

Early bird

For the best selection, come sooner rather than later to choose your tree. We would advise that any trees over 10 foot or 3.0 meters in height are ordered in advance.

Caring for your tree

Providing the tree is kept in water and taken out of its net, it will last best if kept outside (but away from frost) until 7-10 days before Christmas. Inside, keep as far away from direct heat sources, and use a water holding stand.

Pick or cut?

Pick your tree from those ready-cut in the Leaton Forest yard or bring a saw to cut down your own.

If you want to choose yours from the forest, but haven't brought a hand saw with you, please speak to one of our staff for advice and help.
