A Unique Family Run Christmas Tree Farm

Welcome to Hans Christmas Andersen, fresh home grown trees in Surrey Hills and Kent.

Fresh home-grown Christmas Trees are amazing for the environment, not only do real Christmas trees naturally absorb CO2 and release oxygen, but a single tree can absorb 1 tonne of carbon dioxide over its lifetime, and one acre of Christmas trees produces enough oxygen for 18 people each day. They also provide a habitat for wildlife.

Christmas Tree Farm

We know what you are thinking...

"What do you do all year, surely you only work at Christmas?"

Did you know it takes 10 years to grow a 6ft Christmas Tree?

Every tree we grow is cared for individually, we can be found in our plantations most days, fertilising, base pruning, leader reducing or just handling the trees!

Find out more about our Christmas Tree Swap Shop with DEBRA Charity here

You can bring an artifical tree to our farm and we will swap it for a voucher for £25 off a fresh cut Christmas Tree

We are a family run business

Our whole family is involved one way or another in the running of our business. With Hans and Julie at the helm, aided by son Kristien making sure the growing process is covered! Julie’s sister Karen helps us in the office, and at other times of the year daughters Sarah and Annie help when their ‘proper jobs’ allow! We are also pretty sure one day grandchildren Ezra and Elias will follow in our footsteps.

Of course, at the busiest times of the year we are joined by a great team, many of whom return year on year to help us continue the success of our farm

Founded by Hans Alexandersen, Chairman of the British Christmas Tree Growers Association 2019-2022 and a passionate grower with over 28 years experience.

At Hans Christmas Andersen we pride ourselves on the exceptional quality of our trees and our friendly customer service.

Have you seen The Hans Tree?

Grown by our very own Hans Alexandersen, this tree has been chosen to celebrate more than just Christmas!

The tree is currently growing in one of our plantations in Surrey, come and follow its journey on Instagram (@hanschristmasandersen) to see how it changes throughout the year

We have three different locations: Santa Fir near Shamley Green, Van Arnhem Nursery near Godalming, and a site in Kent.
