Local in Naarden since 1945

Welcome to the nursery

T. van der Roest & Zonen, founded in 1945, has a long tradition in tree growing. For generations we have grown trees at several locations in Naarden and Huizen. In 2020 we started selling Christmas trees directly from our field on the Driftweg. The field lies in the Naardereng, a nature area managed by the Goois Natuurreservaat, the regional nature conservation organisation.

Cut your own
in the field

Walk through the Naardereng, choose your tree & we lend you a saw. Prefer a root ball? Then you dig the tree up with a borrowed spade.

The field mainly has blue spruce, Serbian spruce and Norway spruce. You will find the Nordmann fir ready-cut at the sales point; the Nordmanns in the field are still small.

Included with every cut tree

Perfectly straight in five seconds with Easyfix

Every cut tree gets an Easyfix hole as standard: a cone-shaped hole in the bottom of the trunk, drilled with the special Easyfix drill. The tree slides onto the pin of an Easyfix Christmas tree stand and stands straight at once, even if the trunk isn't perfectly straight. No screws, no tools, no hassle.

Don't have an Easyfix stand yet? We sell them on site in several sizes. You buy the stand once and use it again every year.

  • Hole included. Every cut tree at the sales point is pre-drilled. Cutting your own in the field? We drill the hole when we wrap your tree, where you also pay.
  • No tools needed. Tree under your arm, slide the stand into the hole, press down. Done. Only then take off the net.
  • Water reservoir. The stand has a water tray. Topping it up regularly keeps the needles on the tree for longer.
  • The right size. A smaller stand for trees up to about 2 metres, a larger one for trees up to about 3 metres. We drill trees up to 350 cm; the trunk must be thick enough for the hole. We'll help you choose; prices are on site.

Frequently asked questions

When can I buy a Christmas tree at Van der Roest?

From 27 November to 19 December. Monday to Thursday from 11:00 to 17:00, Friday and Saturday from 10:00 to 17:30. We are closed on Sunday. See all opening hours. Out of season you can call us on +31 35 209 0121.

Where are the sales point and the field?

At the corner of Driftweg / Oud Huizerweg in Naarden, on the border with Huizen. From Huizen and Blaricum you are there within ten minutes, from Bussum and Laren in fifteen, and from Amsterdam in about 35 minutes by car. Parking is free. Plan your route or see the map under Contact.

Can I cut my own Christmas tree?

Yes. In the field on the Driftweg you choose your own tree and cut it yourself, or dig it up with its root ball. We lend you a saw or spade. We help where we can, but when it is very busy we sometimes don't have time. Please note: the field mainly has blue spruce, Serbian spruce and Norway spruce. The Nordmann firs at the sales point are ready-cut and come from fellow growers; the Nordmanns in the field are still small. Rather not do the work? At the sales point there are about 50 trees on display; you take your time to choose and we wrap the tree.

What is an Easyfix hole and do I need one?

An Easyfix hole is a cone-shaped hole in the bottom of the trunk, drilled with a special drill. It fits exactly onto the pin of an Easyfix Christmas tree stand, so the tree stands straight at once without screws or tools. All our cut trees get this hole as standard, provided the trunk is thick enough. We drill trees up to 350 cm; above that the weight usually makes it impossible. If you have a different stand at home, the hole won't get in the way. More about Easyfix.

Do you sell Easyfix Christmas tree stands?

Yes, we sell Easyfix stands on site in several sizes, with a water reservoir. You buy the stand once and use it again every year. We'll help you choose the right size for your tree. More about the Easyfix stand.

Which Christmas tree drops the fewest needles?

The Nordmann fir holds its needles the longest, but in the end every tree drops them. The blue spruce is sturdy and blue-grey, but quite prickly. The Serbian spruce (Omorika) is slim and ideal for small spaces. The Norway spruce has the strongest scent. If you buy after 5 December, as most people do, the Serbian spruce and Norway spruce also stay fine until after Christmas, as long as you give them water. See our trees.

How do I keep my Christmas tree looking good for as long as possible?

Put the tree in a stand with water and top it up daily; a fresh tree drinks a lot in the first few days. Never put the tree next to an open fire or a radiator. If you can, let the tree acclimatise for a day in a shed or garage before it goes into the warm living room.

Do you deliver Christmas trees?

Yes, for a small fee we deliver in Huizen, Blaricum and Naarden. You choose the tree on site and we bring it to your home. Questions? Get in touch.

Can I pay by card?

Yes, you can pay by debit card (PIN) or in cash.

How much does a Christmas tree cost in 2026?

Guide price: from € 20,00 for a small Nordmann up to 100 cm and € 22,50 for a Serbian spruce or Norway spruce, up to € 69,50 for a large Nordmann. A Nordmann up to 175 cm is around € 34,50, a blue spruce € 34,50 to € 39,50. The final prices are on the price board on site. Cutting your own in the field costs nothing extra. See the full price list.

When is the best time to buy a Christmas tree?

A cut tree stays lovely for three to four weeks in a stand with water. If you buy in early December, it will easily last through Christmas. For the widest choice, come in the first two weeks of the season or on a weekday; the weekends before Christmas are busy. See the opening hours.

Nordmann fir, blue spruce or Norway spruce: which should I choose?

Nordmann fir: soft needles that don't prick and stay on the longest; in the end a Nordmann drops its needles too. Blue spruce: sturdy and blue-grey, holds heavy decorations well, but quite prickly. Serbian spruce: slim, fits in small spaces. Norway spruce: the classic Christmas scent and the lowest price. Serbian spruce and Norway spruce drop needles a little sooner, but most people buy after 5 December, and then they stay fine until after Christmas. See the four types or cut your own in the field.
