Greenies Trees, Nantwich
Greenies believes a tree should be cherished all year-round, not just for the Christmas season. It offers a Traditional Norway Spruce Christmas Tree, known for its fresh, pleasant scent to add that special Christmas atmosphere to your home. For a more sustainable option, you can rent a pot-grown, living tree. After the festivities, Greenies will pick it up and return it to the farm, where it can keep absorbing CO2 for many years. This way, your tree can be enjoyed time and time again.
Lime Tree Farm Shop
Whether you want to make a statement with an 8-footer or you prefer a smaller, more subtle Christmas tree, you are sure to find whatever you need at Lime Tree Farm Shop.
Kenyon Hall
Kenyon Hall offers two types of freshly cut trees to suit different needs. The Nordmann Fir, with its glossy green needles and classic Christmas tree shape, is ideal for families with young children, while the traditional Fraser Fir has a slimmer profile, perfect for smaller spaces like apartments. Both varieties are also available as living, potted trees, allowing you to keep them growing well beyond the holiday season. Additionally, they offer a beautiful selection of handmade wreaths and centrepieces with real foliage.
Walton Christmas Trees and Nursery
You will find a great selection of trees at Walton Christmas Trees and Nursery, whether you’re looking for something home-grown or a tree outsourced locally.
Cheshire Christmas Trees, Glazebury
As independent Christmas tree growers wholeheartedly committed to quality, the owners of Cheshire Christmas Trees are always on-site, ensuring each tree receives the personal care and attention it deserves. They follow a careful process to maintain freshness: each tree experiences at least two days of natural frost before being cut, then rests for three to four days before netting, allowing it to retain its vibrant colour and fragrance. Their selection includes the popular Nordmann Fir, the elegant Noble Fir and the Lodgepole Pine, with its classic look and sturdy branches.
With plenty of options to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect Christmas tree to bring that festive magic into your home, whether you’re after a rustic farm experience or a festive day out, Chester offers something for everyone this Christmas season.
