Farming trees for environmental, social & economic benefit in Cornwall.
It's all about...
​
Cornish Roots
​
Investing in trees with an established root system increases the rate of successful establishment - effectively fast-tracking your environmental ambitions.
​
In healthy, functioning, established trees, the ratio of ‘roots to shoots’ should be equal.
Our trees are containerised, & grown in Cornwall for a minimum of one year, developing strong fibrous root systems that are in proportionate balance to the branches & shoots.
Simultaneously, our trees are given the opportunity to acclimatise to the rigours of the Cornish maritime climate, whilst growing in an optimum nursery environment.​
​
In short, once planted, our trees are ‘good to grow’!

Steve Evans is a professional arboriculturist & active environmentalist.
Arbor Farm is the evolutionary output of a lifetime of practical working experience with, within & around trees.
During his career, Steve has witnessed tree planting practice & delivery remain largely unchanged.
He has now set out to challenge this & is focussed on making a positive, proactive difference.
