Fruit, nut & common trees
Not sure if your tree qualifies? Here's a guide to the trees we regularly work with — from heritage fruit trees to mature common species.
Fruit Trees
Apple
Bramley, Cox, Egremont Russet — the classic British orchard staple.
Pear
Conference, William, Doyenné — elegant softwood with fine grain.
Plum
Victoria, Greengage, Damson — dense, richly coloured timber.
Cherry
Morello, Stella, Wild cherry — prized for its warm pink and red tones.
Quince
Rare heritage tree with fragrant fruit and distinctive pale timber.
Medlar
Ancient fruit with gnarled form and characterful hardwood.
Fruit trees are at the heart of what we do. We take cuttings before removal, clone them, and mill the timber into bowls, utensils, and furniture. A small service fee of up to £200 applies depending on size and access.
Nut Trees
Walnut
Premium hardwood with deep chocolate grain. Highly sought after for furniture.
Sweet Chestnut
Durable, rot-resistant timber with a warm honey colour.
Hazel
Traditional coppice wood — versatile for crafts and tool handles.
Almond
Delicate pink-tinged timber, rare in Britain. Beautiful for small turned items.
Nut trees follow the same cycle as fruit trees — cloned, milled, and crafted. Their dense hardwoods are especially prized by woodworkers. Fee structure is the same: up to £200 depending on size and access.
Common & Standard Trees
For trees that are not fruit or nut bearing, we offer standard professional tree removal at normal tree service rates.
Oak
Majestic hardwood. Timber can still be milled and used if you wish.
Ash
Strong, flexible timber. We assess for dieback before any work.
Beech
Fine, pale wood ideal for furniture if milled promptly.
Sycamore
Pale, workable hardwood. Often overlooked but excellent for turning.
Horse Chestnut
Soft, easy-working wood. Good for carvings and decorative pieces.
Lime
Smooth-grained, pale timber. A favourite for detailed carving work.
Holly
Dense white wood. Traditionally used for decorative inlay and tool handles.
Yew
Exceptional reddish timber. Highly prized — worth milling if at all possible.
Standard trees are priced at normal tree service rates based on size, condition, and access. If you would like the timber milled or kept for a project, let us know — we can often arrange it.
