Farming trees for environmental, social & economic benefit in Cornwall.

​

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’!

​

We aim to avoid single-use plastics & eliminate plastic waste from our tree production.

We use oxo-degradable pots that are made from recycled and recyclable material.

We do not use any herbicides or pesticides in our tree production.

We only ever use peat-free, regulated growing media.

Our ability

 

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.          

​

We are the first containerised tree nursery in Cornwall to achieve the Plant Healthy accreditation.
