Origin
£295
A tree sown on your accepted future Origin Date and nurtured until established. Delivery timing is agreed with you around the tree’s readiness.
PRIVATE COMMISSIONS
The day is still to come. Commission a tree to begin its journey at that exact moment.
Commission a native British tree to begin its recorded journey from seed on a future wedding day, birth date or milestone—creating a living connection that could last generations.
The Origin Date is the date the seed is sown and recorded—not necessarily the date it germinates or is planted in its permanent home.

THE ORIGIN COMMISSION — £295
A recorded journey from the very first day
Once your request is accepted and paid, you receive a Private Commission Confirmation before the Origin Date arrives.
On the Origin Date, the seed is sown and its recorded Arbora journey begins. You receive a personalised Certificate of Planting after sowing as a beautiful first gift to present while the living tree remains in nursery care. The tree follows once established or on a pre-agreed date.
When safely established, the tree arrives with its Registry Certificate of Origin, unique Registry number, engraved plaque, care guide and luxury presentation packaging.

- Sowing of the seed on your chosen Origin Date
- Private Commission Confirmation provided before the Origin Date

- A personalised Certificate of Planting sent to you after sowing, as a beautiful first gift

SPECIAL COMMISSION — £995
The Family Apple
Grown from seed, the Family Apple is a unique living tree. Because apple seeds do not reproduce the exact variety of their parent, every seedling is an individual with its own future.
The eventual fruit, flavour, mature size and time to fruit cannot be guaranteed, and some seed-grown apple trees may take many years to produce fruit.
This commission embraces the unknown — a tree entirely unique to the family, beginning on a shared date, and discovering its character as it grows.
