We have seen an increase in the demand of plug cell grown plants used for Christmas tree production. The Cell Grown plants flexibility in planting time has enabled Christmas tree growers to plant when it suits them. Our quality of stock grown is second to none with constant repeat orders somewhat dictating the species we supply and the volumes in which we have contract grown. The fact that certain species used for the production of Christmas Trees often run low is more evidence to suggest that the Cell Grown plant is by some growers the preferred method of production. The superb quality we have been able to offer in recent years, have, we are sure also contributed to the current shortfall on the open market.

 

Don't be fooled by other suppliers/websites claiming that Christmas tree production is easy and a get rich quick scheme, it is not, it can be a full time job at times, it took us approximately 4 years to gain the knowledge that we have on Christmas tree growing as any information i needed i had to find out by trials on my land and by research or by joining groups that you have to pay to join and when you are starting out that is one expense you don't really want, i am still learning now even though i have over 25 years experience in horticulture, but if you purchase transplants from us we will help you with FREE advice as much as we can, we also have a Dropbox folder with resources in it which is free to use. Plus you will also have FREE access to further information in our private section on the website which is just for growers that we supply plants too. Simply use the contact form to contact us to enquire about purchasing transplants and growing with us.

 

Affordable non needle drop REAL Christmas Trees now dominate the Christmas Tree market in Europe and are the first choice for the vast majority of families at Christmas.

There are fewer than 100 growers in the country and they will be exporting about 300,000 trees, and supply 400,000-450,000 to the Irish market yearly and this number will grow each year.

One acre will grow up to 2700 non needle drop trees.

Quality transplants trees means low costs and high returns.

A typical homegrown 6ft Christmas tree costs between €40 and €60 depending on area sold in

 

I started Christmas tree production to hopefully provide for us in the future, by planting a certain amount each year i hope to have an income that will provide a suitable income in retirement, it is also a venture that can be passed on to my children, grandchildren in the hope they will continue to plant the fields each year

We also have a group on FaceBook for Christmas tree growers to join

We can supply Noble Fir and Nordmann Fir transplants height approx 14-19cm in height.

 

 These are plug cell 2 - 3 year old grown, some advantages of plug cell grown plants are,  

 They can be planted out in the field all year round.    

 Planting out in August means that the soil is still warm from the summer.    

 This encourages some root growth before winter sets in.    

 Due to the extra root growth they should grow away *quicker* come the  spring time, *subject to planting  conditions.
