In January 2026 we sold 550 trees before our orders closed for the planting season.
In total, over the five years this project has been running, we have provided more than 3,500 fruit trees to residents across East Hampshire.
We are not running the project this winter (2026/7), but in order for us to measure local demand for subsidised fruit trees, please continue to register your details below if you are interested in purchasing fruit trees in the future.
If you have previously bought and planted trees through this programme we want your feedback! Please send us photos of your trees, and let us know what you thought of the project and process here.
We would like to celebrate this successful tree planting project with you, with an event in early 2027 where you will be able to learn about growing trees from seed, how to nurture them as they grow and care for them into the future (including pruning..). It will also be an opportunity to find out more about a collaborative strategy for tree planting in and around the town. Keep an eye on our events page and social media for more information to follow soon. And find our seasonal tree care tips here.
Thank you for your support!

Thank you very much for organising the event and tree/hedge distribution. It was amazingly well organised, from the documentation through to the distribution, despite the wet weather that you'd experienced beforehand (evidenced by the mini lake outside the gate!). Please pass on my thanks to the total team, who worked professionally and slickly to get all the orders out there - mine are safely in the ground now - though not too thrilled about the frost this morning!

Thank you for the hedging plants I collected today in Rowlands Castle. The whole process was expertly managed and the whips are great

Just a note to thank you so much for the native hedging plants that I picked up this morning. They’re going in already. What a well organised, efficient and generous offer and I’m really grateful for my new plants. Look forward to watching them grow!

Thank you so much for the hedging whips. All 48 metres planted, mostly in the sunshine and now retiring for a casserole and large glass of wine. Thank you to all the volunteers who made this happen
