Aveland Trees

New Woodlands & Hedgerows

Established in 1980

Aveland Trees specialises in growing native trees and shrubs from seed, as well as woodland and hedgerow planting throughout the Midlands and East of England. We are based in the village of Dunsby, 5 miles north of Bourne, Lincolnshire.

From seed to woodland

Seed collecting

Each year we collect tree and shrub seed from wild sources in eastern England. We have also established seed stands of many native species close to the nursery. Seed is processed and stratified in house; this gives us full control over the germination process.

Tree growing

Seed is sown in our rich fenland soil to produce young trees ideal for planting in lowland England. Production has recently increased considerably with the mechanisation of the growing operation. Trees are also grown in compost filled modules. This enables us to contract grow smaller quantities of trees.

Woodland planting

Aveland Trees has over 40 years’ experience of planting new woodlands and hedgerows. Woodlands planted near the nursery demonstrate management for wildlife, firewood, timber and the simple pleasures of walking in your own woodland.
