After a lifetime of growing trees, Peter Facey started Butterwick Trees; he has drawn upon his huge depth of experience to grow the very best trees.

Cell grown in large 230 cc cells, each plant is strong, sturdy, and grown in its own plug of compost. Long life fertiliser is mixed with the compost so the plant will establish and grow well in the first year.

Cell grown trees can be planted over a long planting season (September to May). All plants are grown from locally collected seed giving excellent biodiversity and are thus fully acclimatised to North Britain.

The nursery, however, is about more than trees! Peter has decided to pass on his own knowledge to the next generation of tree growers. Horticultural courses are held in tree growing and related life skills of the nursery. Local schools are welcomed with the aim of enthusing and educating children, parents and teachers about the trees and the environment.

When you buy a tree from Butterwick you get the expertise and help to choose the best tree for your needs, what to plant, when to plant, how to plant. You should also know that a lot of people have cared for and helped with the growing of this tree. Your trees will help the environment and the life of generations that follow, but more than that, the growing of your trees took place in an environment that helped nourished and encouraged people.
