Adopt a Tree at Queenswood Arboretum
What Type of Tree can I Adopt?
At Queenswood you can choose to adopt a mature tree or occasionally, one of a very small number of saplings when they are purchased for winter planting.
It costs £350 for a straight forward tree adoption where you choose the tree yourself. This fee includes a tree post if a new or replacement post is needed, a tree label complete with space for a short dedication, an entry in the online tree database, Queenswood Treefinder, and a 10 year Tree Guarantee.
Commissioned by Queenswood Coronation Fund, Queenswood Treefinder is a database of the specimen trees in the Arboretum’s collection which you can use to help you search for and select a tree for adoption. You can search for trees by botanical name, common tree name or tree number, and you can use the interactive mapping feature to choose a tree by location.
Please note that Queenswood is a maturing arboretum and for this reason there are very few young saplings now planted on site; this is to allow the older specimens space to flourish and achieve their full potential.
