Types of Christmas Tree, Selecting Your Tree & Prices
Buying a tree at Yattendon is an annual tradition for many local families. We have a wide range of sizes and several types to choose from. We grow two main varieties of trees: the traditional Norway Spruce and the Nordman Fir.

We also have a range of small potted trees. These are either Norway or Blue Spruce. All stock is from replanted nurseries on the Estate, on a 8-9 year cycle making them fully sustainable.

Caring for your tree
Below our team have outlined some advice on caring for your tree once you have left the Yattendon Christmas Barn.
- As soon as you get your tree home stand it in a bucket of water and keep the tree in a cool, shady place for example a shed or garage until you take it indoors to be decorated.
- When you put your tree in its stand make sure it has water and you keep it watered. Needle shedding is a natural part of the life-cycle of any conifer and although some varieties shed their needles more quickly this will happen quicker if you let your tree dry out.
- It is best to position your tree in the coolest part of the room if possible, so next to a window or near one and away from radiators and fires. Keep an eye that it stays well-watered. If it is in a hot room watering is likely to be required daily.
