Covering 450 acres of Worcestershire countryside, Frank P Matthews’ tree growing nursery is a sizeable affair, producing more than half a million trees each year. If you’ve bought a tree from a garden centre in the last few years, chances are it came from Frank P Matthews, under the nursery’s ‘Tree for Life’ brand. It supplies garden centres, mail order companies and commercial fruit growers, but also sells direct to customers through its tree shop, on site just outside Tenbury Wells and Ludlow.
