How we chose
We looked for farms, garden centres and nurseries selling real trees within a short drive of Brentwood, Shenfield, Hutton and Ingatestone, and for firms that deliver to Brentwood postcodes, and kept only those whose own websites we could read on 5 November 2026. Calcott Hall Farm on Ongar Road lists no tree sales this year, and the Brentwood Garden Centre on Brook Street no longer hosts the tree sale that used to run there.
