Christmas tree delivery to Birmingham

Birmingham is the second largest city in the UK and has a history steeped in Christmas tradition, thanks in part to the German Christmas Market and Christmas trees lining the streets during the festive season. But, like most cities around the UK, getting your hands on a fresh, home-grown Christmas tree can prove quite difficult. Save yourself the hassle of fighting to carry a tree through the masses beside the Bull Ring by ordering direct through our website.

We deliver to all parts of Birmingham (on a day of your choosing) including Edgbaston, Harborne, Solihull, Erdington, Moseley, Saltley, Bournville and Cotteridge, Newtown, Holyhead, Oscott, and the Jewellery Quarter.

We have been growing Christmas trees at Jackson’s Nurseries for three generations and shipping them to all over the mainland UK for over 15 years. We take great care in picking, packing and delivering your Christmas tree to you, using our preferred courier service DX.

Choosing a Christmas Tree
Traditionally many different evergreen species were used as a Christmas tree. The most popular variety today is the Nordman Fir, which is favoured for its soft, rounded, pet and child friendly needles and excellent needle retention over several weeks. Alternatively, many people still love the traditional Norway Spruce with its rich coniferous fragrance, which really adds to the Christmas atmosphere in the home. Our quick guide to different trees below may help you choose:

Fresh Cut Christmas Trees

• Nordman Fir Fresh Cut Christmas trees - thick, soft, glossy needles. Wide base for presents. Excellent needle retention. Suitable for pets & children. Most popular tree in the UK.
• Norway Spruce Fresh Cut Christmas trees - traditional Christmas tree. Popular since Victorian times. Broad triangular base. Rich coniferous fragrance. Best installed from mid December onwards.
• Blue Spruce Fresh Cut Christmas trees - an attractive blue Coloured Spruce. Sharply pointed foliage. Conical shape. Cones cluster near to the top of the tree.
• Fraser Fir Fresh Cut Christmas trees - narrow, slender tree with branches angled upwards at 45 degrees. Perfect for smaller homes. Fits into porches & corridors. Plush deep green needles are soft and flat with a silvery hue to the undersides.
• Noble Fir Fresh Cut Christmas trees - growing in popularity for its strong needle retention, distinct citrus fragrance and unique, upcurved, bi-coloured blue-green needles with streaks of white running along the full length of the underside of the needles.
• Nordman Fir Slim Shape Fresh Cut Christmas trees - slimmer than the typical Nordman Fir, perfect for smaller spaces. Carefully pruned to maintain a compact, symmetrical tree that's still bushy and 'full' to the top of the tree.
• Lodgepole Pine Fresh Cut Christmas Tree - if you’re looking for something different to the norm, the Lodgepole Pine has a striking appearance with upright branches and beautiful long needles. The name ‘Lodgepole’ comes from the way these trees were used as the main structure for lodges and teepees, build initially by native Americans and later by Europeans.

Pot Grown Christmas Trees

• Nordman Fir Pot Grown Christmas trees - Carefully nurtured on our nursery and supplied in a plastic pot so you can put it in the garden after Christmas. Flat needles, rounded at the ends so won’t prick your pet, baby or toddler. Nordman Fir is the best selling tree in the UK and for good reason. 
• Norway Spruce Pot Grown Christmas Tree - Lovely rich coniferous fragrance, perfect for evoking the spirit of Christmas! Popular since Victoria times with short and thin, varying bright and deep green pointed needles. Stiff central branch ideal for your favourite Christmas angel, fairy or star.
• Blue Spruce Pot Grown Christmas Tree - Luxurious, dense foliage with tantalising steely blue needles. Holds its needles well for up to a month with the right care. well with silver or white décor themes. Sturdy branches, prefect for decorating without baubles falling to the floor.
• Fraser Fir Pot Grown Christmas Tree - Joint best needle retention with Nordman Fir (needle retention up to 5 weeks with the right care). Lovely balsam aroma, perfect for getting the festive spirit going! Plush deep green needles are soft and flat with a silvery hue to the undersides.
• Korean Fir Pot Grown Christmas Tree - Soft, rounded, deep green needles with silvery-blue undersides that glisten in the light, giving its alternative name of Silver Fir. Needles are similar to Nordman Fir but shorter. Gives off a delicious fresh forest aroma, perfect for evoking the spirit of Christmas! This is the big advantage that Korean Fir has over the Nordman and, we think, the reason for its growth in popularity.

How to Order
Ordering is quick and easy via our website – simply visit our Christmas tree page, select the variety you prefer, choose the height of tree you’d like to buy and your preferred delivery date, then add it to your shopping cart and proceed through checkout.

We offer some varieties as pot grown trees. We find some people like potted trees as they can be planted out after Christmas and there is a reasonable chance they will survive in the garden (about a 60% success rate), especially you follow our Christmas tree care tips – although this cannot be guaranteed.

If you have any particular requirements – maybe a tree with a particularly wide or narrow base – include these in the notes to your order and we’ll do our best to find a tree that fits the bill. We regularly replenish the stock on our garden centre so there are always plenty of fine specimens of all types, shapes and sizes for our internet pickers to choose from.

We encourage you to pre-order your Christmas tree to secure the best trees early on and help us plan how many trees we need to harvest from our Christmas tree fields in advance. Pre-orders can be made on our website for any two-day delivery window (excluding Sundays) from late November onwards, normally up until around the 20th December, depending on exactly when the weekends fall before Christmas day.

Once you’ve placed your order, it will be processed by a member of our web sales team will process it for you and scour the wide range of freshly cut Christmas trees at our garden centre to find the perfect one for you.

Why choose your tree from Jacksons?
Across our growing fields we grow a variety of trees, from the traditional Norway Spruce to the popular Nordmann Fir and Blue Spruce. Our tree farm supports a large ecology of wildlife, offering a haven for birds, insects and small mammals that seek shelter and food amongst the growth. This is due, in part, to how we plant the trees as ‘draw trees’ and plant native trees in between the Christmas trees as we plant. As we harvest the Christmas trees, we leave the native species in certain areas to encourage and develop the English woodland.

By buying your tree from Jackson’s you are encouraging local wildlife, contributing to the betterment of the atmosphere – just one acre of Christmas trees will absorb over two tonnes of carbon dioxide a year – and you are buying a renewable source: for every individual tree removed, two are planted in its place.

Our top tips for Christmas Tree Care

• Keep your tree hydrated – when you get your tree delivered, saw off about an inch from the base of the trunk and store in a bucket of water for the next 24 hours.
• Store your tree in the right kind of Christmas tree stand – Christmas trees can absorb up to 1 inch of water per 1-inch diameter of trunk. Don’t forget to keep the water in your stand regularly topped up - it may get depleted more quickly than you expect!
• Give yourself time – make sure that your tree is straight and give it a couple of hours to settle before you decorate.
• Keep it away from direct heat sources, like fires and radiators, as this can dry the tree out and accelerate needle loss.
• Remember to water your tree – think of it like a fresh bunch of flowers, it needs regular watering and plenty of it.
