One short guide to the right blossom tree for you.
Where you're planting, what you want from it, and what fits in your car. Two minutes, three recommendations.
Where will you plant?
This is the first big fork. Pick the closest match.
Step 2 · A few quick questions
Tap what fits. We'll narrow down the species that suit.
How much space do you have?
Do you want blossom in the first Easter, or are you happy to wait?

Step 3 · Three trees worth considering
Best matches for your space and preferences. Tap any tree for the full guide.
A note on prices and where to buy. Tara is currently running deep research to compile species-specific prices, sapling availability, and verified UK nursery links. We'll never make those numbers up. Where you see research pending on a card, the data simply isn't ready yet — but the recommendation logic and species choice is sound. In the meantime, ask your nearest participating garden centre for stock and provenance.
Step 2 · Find a community planting near you
When you join a project, the landowner has chosen which species fit the vision (a churchyard grove, a cherry ring, an orchard). You bring a tree that matches the project's palette — so all you need to do is find a project, and they'll tell you what to bring.
How it works
- Browse the map — pin a postcode and see plantings within reach.
- Click a project — read the vision, see the species palette, see how many spots remain.
- Reserve a spot — the landowner confirms by email, and tells you which species to buy locally.
- Plant on Easter weekend — bring your tree, dig the hole, leave a memory.
Both options, side by side
Most people end up doing both eventually — one tree at home, one at a community planting nearby. They're complementary, not exclusive.
Plant at home
The simplest version of the tradition. Pick a tree that fits your space and budget. Decorate it indoors over Lent. Plant it on Easter Sunday in your garden, balcony, or pot. Watch it grow up with your family.
Join a community planting
Add to something bigger than your own garden. A churchyard grove, a cherry ring on the village green, an orchard. The landowner picks the species, you bring a tree that fits. Revisit every year and watch the whole vision grow.
What's not on this page yet
Real prices. Real sapling-stock images. Real UK-nursery links. The deep research project to fill those in is running now — we'd rather show "research pending" honestly than invent a number. Once it's complete, the recommendation cards above light up with prices, two photos per tree, and verified links to UK nurseries.
