Tree rental is a modern twist on the classic ‘pick your own’ model, enabling patrons to rent a single tree for a season (March to October). You will get a certificate showing the type of tree and the individual number, which can be personalised and makes a lovely original gift. You can then come and visit your tree when it is in blossom in the spring, and then again to harvest the crop in the summer or autumn. We will let you know the harvest dates by email as the season progresses, as every year the exact times vary. Your tree will be managed alongside our commercial trees and given the same high standard of cultivation. We aim to provide a memorable and enjoyable experience which brings people closer to the way their food is produced, and the ability to see exactly where it comes from.
If you wish to purchase a Rent-a-Tree as a gift, just make sure to tell us in the Additional Information>Order notes box on the checkout page, and we can make the certificate out to the recipient for you.
Please be aware we are not able to guarantee a minimum crop size. When you rent a tree, you are coming on the farming journey with us. Cherry harvests in particular are very variable, and at the mercy of the weather; by their nature they have bumper years and thin years.
