About Us

Welcome To Frank P Matthews

At Frank P Matthews, we are more than just tree growers—we are custodians of a family legacy that spans generations. Nestled in the heart of Worcestershire, our journey began over a century ago, and since then, every tree we nurture carries the story of our passion, dedication, and commitment to quality.

From the moment you step into our nursery or explore our trees online, you’ll sense the difference. We pride ourselves on the personal touch we bring to every tree we grow. Unlike large-scale operations focused on volume, our approach is centred on individual care and attention to detail. Each tree, whether destined for a garden centre or your own garden, receives the same level of meticulous care that has defined our reputation for excellence.

Our family has worked tirelessly to blend traditional tree-growing methods with modern techniques, ensuring that every tree we offer is not only beautiful but also robust and ready to thrive in its new home. We understand that trees are not just plants; they are long-term investments in your landscape, providing shade, fruit, and beauty for years to come. That’s why we take the time to ensure that each tree is grown with precision and love.

When you choose a tree from Frank P Matthews, you are not just getting a tree—you are becoming a part of our family’s legacy. Whether it’s a fruit tree that will bear delicious harvests or an ornamental tree that will grace your garden with beauty, we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our team, many of whom have been with us for years, is always available to provide expert advice tailored to your specific needs.

Our Range

We offer the largest range of fruit and ornamental trees, soft fruits, and hedging, in the UK. Each is personally tended by our team of skilled nurserymen, a product of meticulous cultivation and a reflection of our commitment to quality over quantity.

Innovation in Horticulture

We believe in constantly refreshing our collection to bring you exciting new varieties each year. Our goal is to enhance the natural beauty of your gardens and landscapes with trees that not only look stunning but also thrive in their new homes. Whether it’s introducing new flavors of fruit trees or expanding our assortment of ornamental beauties, our innovations are guided by both expertise and a deep understanding of what our customers love.

Trees for Every Garden

Whether you have a sprawling garden or a modest green space, our extensive selection is designed to complement any setting. From the first blooms of spring to the rich hues of autumn, our trees are chosen to provide beauty and sustenance throughout the seasons.

Our Nursery

At Frank P Matthews, our commitment to sustainability shapes every aspect of our nursery operations. Nestled in the verdant landscape of Worcestershire’s Teme Valley, our nursery has been proudly peat-free for over 15 years, a testament to our dedication to environmental stewardship. Harnessing the power of the sun, we utilise solar energy to minimize our carbon footprint and ensure our operations are as green as possible. Furthermore, our innovative rainwater catchment systems allow us to capture over 50 million gallons which we use to irrigate our trees, reducing our reliance on external water sources. These practices exemplify our ongoing efforts to not only produce beautiful, healthy trees but also to safeguard the environment for future generations.

Commercial Growing

We provide a complete nursery service for commercial growers across the UK.

We are agents for the European Partner Nurseries: Gräb Nursery in Germany for stone fruit and Botden & Van Willegen Nursery in Holland for supplying knip trees.

We continue to extend our interests on behalf of customers to breeders and nurseries. This co-operative approach has started with extensive trial plantings at our site in Worcestershire and the prospect of adding some very interesting varieties to our range.
