UK’s largest producer of cell-grown trees
About Us
Founded in 1988, our tree nursery in East Lothian, near Edinburgh, benefits from some of Scotland’s highest sunshine hours and naturally hardy growing conditions – ensuring our trees thrive across the UK’s diverse landscapes.
Leaders in cell-grown technology
As pioneers of cell-grown trees in the UK, we produce plants with protected root plugs, enabling year-round planting, higher survival rates, and rapid establishment. This method reduces transplant shock, promotes early growth, and simplifies logistics for foresters, landowners, and contractors alike.
Sustainable by nature
We take biosecurity and environmental responsibility seriously. All Alba Trees are grown on our own nurseries and never imported, ensuring traceability and health from seed to site. We’re proud to be a Plant Healthy certified nursery, with rigorous inspections to safeguard against pests and disease.
Our team continually explores biological controls, peat-free growing, and biodegradable tree protection to minimise our environmental footprint, because caring for the planet starts at the roots.
A trusted partner
With over 35 years of expertise, we’re proud to support landowners, foresters, farmers, land agents, and environmental organisations across the UK. Whether you’re planting for woodland creation, farm shelterbelts, or a corporate sustainability initiative, we’ll help you find the right trees for your site, your goals, and your legacy.
