Our dedicated team of arborists works across the estate with a particular focus on maintaining and enhancing the Heckfield Arboretum.
Our team collaborates with arboretums, botanic gardens and estates both nationally and internationally, sharing knowledge, experiences, trees, and seeds.
The innovative technology of a Geo Injector, developed after the great storm of 1980, has been invaluable in preserving our original arboretum, allowing us to aerate the root system of larger specimen trees that have become compacted over the centuries.
We are also pleased to offer contracting services to geo-inject trees for other individuals, estates, and businesses seeking to enhance the health and longevity of their trees.
In 2019, our arborists established the UK’s first biodynamically certified tree nursery, propagating seeds from selected trees on the estate. Since then, we have grown over 1,800 trees from the original arboretum and planted over 600 trees across the estate. Trees grown from seed collected from our arboretum are now available to buy—bringing a piece of Heckfield's heritage to your landscape.
