Alba Trees Ltd

Stand No. L29

The Nursery began growing in 1988, and has always specialised in Forestry trees – both for native woodland creation and timber production. Alba has greatly expanded since those early days and now grows 30m trees per year, across three separate growing sites. Our location allows our trees to take advantage of the highest sunshine hours in Scotland, as well as exposing them to traditional Scottish winters – ensuring they are fully hardy and ideal for woodland planting throughout the UK.

Alba Trees is the largest cell-grown Forestry nursery in the UK. Growing trees in cells ensures that trees have a root plug which is never damaged during the lifting process and extends the potential planting season to all months of the year. Rates of establishment of cell-grown trees are typically up to 20% better than with field grown (Bare Root) trees.
