Tree gifting guide for Christmas

With Christmas only around the corner, you may want to start thinking about sorting your presents. If you’re looking for a unique, environmentally conscious, long-lasting Christmas gift for someone special this year then why not gift a tree – we have many to choose from! If you can’t decide, you can always gift one of our Trees Direct gift vouchers.

Top 5 sustainable Christmas gifts to give

 

Our tree gifting guide takes the stress and worries out of gift buying this year with different treats to give this festive period. Take a look at our top 5 tree gifts to give and surprise a loved one with a sustainable, long-lasting gift this season.

Fig Brown Turkey tree gift

This is a great small tree that is perfect for a small garden or patio space. A gift that keeps on giving (literally) as the Brown Turkey Fig Tree produces lovely sweet fruit that is ready for picking at the end of Summer – early Autumn. They are great for making tasty treats such as fig jam, pies, and tarts or simply enjoying them as they are.

 

It is a fast-growing tree that does require pruning every year so would make a great gift for someone who doesn’t mind a tree that needs a bit of TLC. A hardy tree that grows well in the British climate but will need to be protected in cold winter and wet weather. A great gift to give this Christmas.

Magnolia Grandiflora Little Gem tree gift

If you know someone who loves a pretty flowering tree then this is for them. This small tree produces large, velvety, creamy white flowers that have a delicious lemon scent. The Magnolia Grandiflora Little Gem Tree has evergreen glossy green leaves and the flowers open over long periods from midsummer well into autumn. It is hardy, slow growing, and elegant that thrives against a wall or facade of a house and only needs pruning to maintain. A rewarding tree that likes sun or semi-shade prefers neutral to acid, well-drained soil.

Bay tree gift

Bay Trees make a lovely Christmas tree present. An evergreen grown for its glossy green leaves, yellow flowers, and black fruit. An elegant tree that looks great in planters and enhances the front of your home. Another bonus is that it’s an easy tree to look after so will work well for those who don’t have a lot of time to spend caring for and maintaining their plants. It’s easy to grow and only needs general pruning in spring and autumn but can also be pruned in summer if planted in pots or planters. 

 

Another tree that will need protection from extreme cold and wind and should be moved inside during the colder months. Another benefit is that the leaves can be used in all kinds of recipes such as adding to stews, curries, soups, and more. 

Citrus Orange tree gift

Brighten up someone’s patio or garden with a lovely Citrus Orange Tree. A wonderfully white-scented blossom forms on the tree with evergreen shiny leaves and even better produce delicious oranges for you to eat. An attractive tree to look at with oranges that hang like baubles at Christmas time so perfect for all year round or to use as a unique Christmas tree during the winter months.

 

The tree grows well in a sunny protected area and will need protection over the colder months meaning it must be brought inside to a conservatory, greenhouse or a cool well-lit windowsill. This tree does require care and attention to flourish but allows you to reap the benefits of doing so.

Apple Christmas Pippin tree gift

With Christmas in its name, it really makes the ideal gift to give this season. The Apple Christmas Pippin tree has a pretty shape with a tall trunk that becomes gnarled with age. It produces delicious apples that have a sweet, crisp, and juicy flavour and has a display of blossom in spring that opens white from pink buds followed by green oval leaves.

 

This tree is also very easy to grow so is great for beginners. The apples store well after harvesting so next Christmas expect a delicious apple pie or crumble. A dwarf variety, this can also be kept in a pot on a patio or is also suitable for small garden spaces.

Tree gift voucher

Don’t worry if you have a tricky relative or friend to buy for as we have the option to purchase a gift voucher allowing them to choose exactly what they want. With no expiration date, they are also able to take their time in choosing a tree.

We also have many other trees to choose from that will make the perfect gift for someone this Christmas. All of our trees come with a handwritten card and planting instructions as well as the option to gift wrap for a small extra cost.
