Coxwold-based Newburgh Christmas Trees has received recognition at a national awards scheme.
The company was runner-up in the Best Norway Spruce category at the British Christmas Tree Growers Association (BCTGA) Awards.
The company said the award was “great recognition for the team and the hard work they put in year on year to produce such beautiful, well-shaped Christmas trees”.
They added: “We are back to preparing this year’s trees ready for the season ahead.
“Our range of fresh-cut and pot grown tree of all sizes means there is something for every household.”
The annual competition has been running since 1999.
The winning tree and wreath were chosen by members of the BCTGA who attended the competition day.
TV presenter Jules Hudson was a special guest for this year’s competition and selected a tree for the Celebrity Choice Award from Edenmill Christmas Trees, Glasgow, for its “lovely symmetry and deep colour which would suit any home”.
Jules’ Celebrity Choice Award for a wreath went to Catsfield Christmas Tree Farm, of East Sussex, which Jules described as “simple, inventive and fun. Loved it!”
Russell Parkins, chair of BCTGA, said: “The standard of entries has been high and very impressive and I’d like to congratulate all our winners.
“It’s a real accolade for our champions to supply the Christmas tree for Downing Street and the wreath for Number 10 and we hope it encourages the public in our message to support our Christmas tree growers, buy local and buy real.”
