About Us

We have tree research trial sites across the UK where we test material from carefully selected superior parent trees of seven broadleaved species. Our researchers monitor their development over many years.

Our Impact

Anyone planting trees, where timber is the primary objective, ought to be using the highest standard of planting stock available. See the availability of improved planting stock.

Our Projects

Tree breeding is long term, expensive work and we partner with many organisations to achieve our goals.  Our core work is with seven important timber species, but we also work on other projects to address tree health, forest adaptation and resilience

We have some bold plans for the next five years. By 2025, we will:

  • Plant progeny trials for silver birch and sycamore

  • Establish six oak grafted seed orchards

  • Continue work on the Living Ash Project to find ash trees resilient to ash dieback

  • Identify 50 more birch and oak plus trees

  • Collect grafting material from all newly identified plus trees

  • Establish four demonstration plots across the UK to showcase our achievements
