O, Christmas Tree

We grow around 7 million Christmas trees in the UK each year. 2240 ha of land would be needed to grow that many trees, the equivalent of 120,000 average-sized UK gardens.

Nordmann Fir remains the most popular Christmas tree in the UK, accounting for 80% of trees sold.

Gardens and green space are paramount for home movers and renters alike. 87% of home movers and 72% of renters say a garden is an important feature in a property when moving home.

A garden continues to be in many buyers’ wish list, ranked in the top 5 of Rightmove’s key search terms.
