Frank P Matthews Trees – Supplying Quality Trees to British Farms

Established in 1901, Frank P Matthews is one of the UK’s most respected tree nurseries, proudly supplying high-quality trees to farms, estates, and rural properties across the country. With over a century of expertise, we are dedicated to helping farmers enhance their landscapes, increase biodiversity, and diversify income through carefully selected tree species and varieties.

Our nursery, based in the heart of the Worcestershire countryside, grows around 1 million trees each year across over 3,000 varieties. From traditional orchard fruit trees to native woodland species, our trees are grown in British soil and climate, ensuring resilience, sustainability, and successful establishment.

Trees Grown for British Farmers

We understand the unique challenges and opportunities facing today’s agricultural sector. Whether you’re looking to plant new hedgerows, establish a woodland for carbon offsetting, or develop commercial fruit orchards, our team is here to support your goals with expert advice and the best quality trees.

Our main areas of supply for farms include:

• Orchard and Fruit Trees: We supply a wide range of apple, pear, plum, cherry, damson, and nut trees, suitable for both traditional and commercial orchards. Our varieties include both heritage and modern cultivars, grafted onto rootstocks suitable for different soil types and purposes.

• Agroforestry and Silvopasture: We support farmers interested in integrating trees into livestock and cropping systems. Species are selected for longevity, shade provision, and resilience, with options tailored to your farm’s long-term land use plan.

• Native Trees and Hedging: Ideal for shelterbelts, field boundaries, and wildlife corridors, our native species include oak, hawthorn, field maple, hazel, and more. These help support biodiversity and meet Countryside Stewardship and Sustainable Farming Incentive (SFI) scheme criteria.

• Timber and Shelter Trees: We provide fast-growing and high-value hardwood and softwood species, including walnut, sweet chestnut, poplar, and alder, useful for timber, fuel, and windbreak planting.

With over 120 years of nursery experience, we’ve earned a reputation for reliability and quality among UK farmers and land managers. We regularly work with estate managers, farm advisors, DEFRA schemes, and agri-environment consultants to ensure our trees are eligible for grants and subsidies.

All of our trees are grown to Plant Healthy standards, ensuring they are free from pests and diseases, and certified under UK and EU plant passport regulations. Our meticulous growing practices mean our trees are hardy, well-rooted, and ready for planting with confidence.
