At Kerstboom kwekerij Gebr. Vije in Enschede you pick your own Christmas tree while it is still standing in the ground. The nursery has been growing trees here for 40 years and the trees are tended all year round. It grows five species: fijnspar (Norway spruce) with fine, prickly needles; zilverspar (Serbian spruce), a narrow dark-green tree with a silvery underside; blauwspar (blue spruce), a broad tree with a strong pine scent; Koreaanse spar (Korean fir), slim with distinctive upward-pointing branches; and the Nordmann spar, with soft, large needles and good needle retention. Trees range from small sizes up to ten metres high, suitable for a business entrance or a neighbourhood square. On site, trees are available with root ball, in a pot, or freshly cut; prices start at €8.00 for a fijnspar, €10.00 for a zilverspar, €13.00 for a blauwspar and €18.00 for a Nordmann.

Alternatively, order a tree through the webshop. It is sawn only after you place the order and delivered freshly cut throughout the Netherlands, free within Enschede and €17.50 per tree elsewhere, on Mondays to Saturdays between 14.00 and 16.00; you can note the desired day and time when ordering. The webshop also sells an EasyFix tree stand.

The nursery is open daily from Saturday 30 November through December: Monday to Saturday 9.00 to 17.00, Sunday 10.00 to 17.00.

What visitors say

You come for the Christmas trees, and the choice is huge, with or without a root ball. The trees are beautiful. The people are friendly and help you well. Prices are reasonable. Expect it to be busy in December: parking is on the verge and turning around is awkward. Home delivery is also an option and goes smoothly.
