Who we are..
​Fox Lane is run by Don and Pip McLean and their four children.
​
We plant the new trees as a family every year. The kids help out with thistle chipping and trimming the trees to bush them up to create a great Christmas Tree shape. Our older two now help with cutting them down with chainsaws.
​
Our first trees were planted in 2018 and take 3 & 1/2 years to grow with about 6 trims during that time.
In 2023 Cyclone Gabrielle drowned 900 trees and blew a few hundred over. Other storms have blown others over since, so we now have a large supply of waratahs to stand them up so they grow nice and straight for you. ​
​
We love living here in Muriwai and raising our kids in this amazing community.
​
The name Fox Lane comes from our two surnames -
Pip Foxley and Don McLean - and it is also next to Foxley Road

CARING FOR YOUR TREE
Thanks for buying one of our trees.
​
When you get home, put your tree in water. Cut the base off by a few centimetres if it's been longer than an hour after cutting it down.
Stand it in a Christmas tree stand or a bucket with bricks (make sure it's secure)
​Do not add soil or sand to the tree stand or bucket.
​
Keep it topped up with water. A tree can drink a few litres of water a day for a few days. Add a bit of bleach if you want to.
They don't love being in the direct sunlight and each tree will have a better side to look at.
Your tree can stay green for up to 6 weeks if it's got water and doesn't get too hot.
