Question to the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs:

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, if her Department will publish regular data on imports of trees, shrubs, hedging and other woody plants, including quantities, species and maturity, to help identify gaps in domestic supply.

The Tree Supply Report is a government analysis of the UK’s tree sapling production each planting season to assess the supply across Great Britain. Through our tree nursery data specialist at the Forestry Commission, we are facilitating the flow of information between Government, the nursery sector, and their customers. The fourth iteration was published April 2026.
