A Tree-mendous Tradition
Each year, the UK cultivates an impressive 7 million Christmas trees, with around 2,240 hectares of land dedicated to popular varieties like Nordmann Firs, Norway Spruces, Fraser Firs, and other festive evergreens. To visualize this, imagine 120,000 typical UK gardens brimming with the crisp, piney scent of Christmas.
Among these, the Nordmann Fir stands out as the top choice, making up 75% of all sales due to its soft, needle-retaining foliage and perfectly balanced shape. The remaining 25% features traditional Norway Spruces, aromatic Fraser Firs, and other specialty varieties. While each tree type has its loyal fans, the iconic fragrance of real Christmas trees is a national favourite—recently ranked eighth among the UK’s most cherished scents, nestled between the refreshing sea breeze and the allure of perfume.
As property professionals, we understand the importance of outdoor spaces for homeowners and renters alike. The Property Academy Renter Survey 2024 found that 64% of renters are more likely to stay longer in a property with access to a garden or outdoor area. Whether it's for planting flowers, growing vegetables, or perhaps even cultivating your own holiday tree, a garden often transforms a house into a home.
This festive season, as you decorate your Christmas tree, take a moment to reflect on the land and care behind it—and the joy it brings. And if you’re dreaming of a home with a garden big enough to grow your own evergreen, remember: while it might take years for your tree to reach its full glory, finding the ideal property could be much faster with the guidance of an experienced estate agent.
