Theydon Christmas Trees farm in Essex
Our Story

From Essex Farmland to London's Premier Wholesale Supplier

A proudly British brand born from passion, grown through expertise

Capital Christmas Trees has grown from humble beginnings to become London's most trusted destination for premium real Christmas trees. Our story is one of dedication, quality, and an unwavering commitment to bringing families together around something beautiful.

2015 - The Beginning

Born from a Simple Mission

Our story began in 2015, when founder Ricky Wheeler established Theydon Christmas Trees alongside his family with a simple mission: to grow the perfect Nordmann Fir Christmas tree.

What started as a small farm operation in the heart of Essex quickly became a local favourite, delivering over 800 Grade AAA luxury trees to families across Loughton, Buckhurst Hill, Woodford, and the surrounding areas.

"Growing the ideal Christmas tree, with its lush green foliage, perfect conical shape, and strong branches capable of holding the heaviest decorations, required years of dedication, countless early mornings, and an unwavering commitment to quality."

Christmas tree farming challenges - weather and seasonal demands
The Reality of Farming

Perfection Wasn't Easy

Every tree was hand-selected by expert pickers, ensuring only the finest specimens reached our customers' homes. But farming had its challenges.

Mother Nature didn't always cooperate. Despite our best efforts, some seasons left us searching for alternatives. That's when we began forging partnerships with leading UK growers.

Unmet Wholesale Demand

Year after year, hundreds of retail businesses called looking for bulk orders, but we couldn't service them all.

Cost Challenges

The cost of growing our trees was much higher than those shipped in from Scandinavia.

2025 - The Solution

Capital Christmas Trees is Our Solution

Launching in 2025, Capital Christmas Trees represents everything we learned from a decade of growing, perfecting, and delivering exceptional Christmas trees.

Our network of trusted UK growers—built through years of collaboration—ensures that every Capital Christmas Trees customer receives high quality trees that you can't find in stores like Costco, Macro or Booker.

We understand that your business success depends on reliable supply, competitive pricing, and consistent quality. That's why we work exclusively with retail partners who value quality grown trees.
