About Us
A Family Tradition Grown in Essex
Theydon Christmas Trees began as a small family venture on the edge of rural Essex, driven by one simple belief — that a Christmas tree should be something you're proud to bring into your home.
Long before there were websites or wholesale partnerships, there was just one field, a few tools, and a shared determination to grow beautiful, natural trees the right way.
It was hard work, but the kind that brings a family together. Days were spent planting, pruning, and caring for each tree through the seasons — learning from the land and from each other along the way.
The Rule That Started It All
From the very beginning, our family lived by one guiding rule:
"If you wouldn't put the tree in your own home, don't cut it down."
That principle became the heart of everything we did. We didn't rush the growing process, and we never cut corners. Every tree was hand-selected, cared for over many years, and harvested only when it reached the perfect shape and strength.
Growing with Care
Farming Christmas trees is a year-round effort. Spring pruning, summer irrigation, autumn shaping, and winter harvesting — each season brought its own challenges and rewards.
Over time, word spread. Families from Loughton, Theydon Bois, Buckhurst Hill, and Woodford began visiting each year to choose their tree, often turning it into an annual family tradition.
Theydon Christmas Trees became a local name known for quality, warmth, and a genuine connection to the community.
Our Legacy
As the years passed, demand grew — and so did the ambition to make beautiful British-grown trees more widely available.
The lessons learned at Theydon inspired two sister ventures:
Both continue to uphold the same care and craftsmanship that began in that first Essex field.
Still a Family Business at Heart
Though we've grown, our values remain unchanged. Every tree we supply is British-grown, responsibly sourced, and nurtured with the same attention to detail that started it all.
Theydon Christmas Trees is still, at its core, a family-run business built on honesty, hard work, and pride in doing things properly.
Because for us, Christmas has always been about more than just trees — it's about family, tradition, and the simple joy of bringing something real into your home.
