Tree nurseries directory (agroforestry)

Updated 18 June 2025

The tree nurseries directory (agroforestry) includes nurseries growing fruit and nut trees, usually from whip to standard size.

Each nursery has supplied their own information, which has not been fact-checked. Inclusion in the directory does not indicate endorsement by Forestry Commission. The list of nurseries is not exhaustive.

If you run a nursery and would like to be included in the directory, or need to change your information, email: nursery.directory@forestrycommission.gov.uk.

Plants and trees supplied under government-funded planting in England must follow the Biosecure Procurement Requirement.

For woodland and forest sapling suppliers, visit the Forest nurseries directory.
