History

Maglesø Plantage is a family owned company consisting of two christmas tree plantations as well as an extensive wholesale and contracting business.

The plantation was established in the early 1960ies when Niels Bach Nielsen (b. 1926) planted the first christmas trees at Maglesø. His main interest being hunting and gamekeeping, the primary objective was to improve wildlife conditions. But as it turned out that the fields were very well suited for forestry, he soon became a professional christmas tree grower. 

The production grew steadily and what had started as a hobby gradually became the main family business. Throughout the 1980ies the production was intensified and we began marketing trees to the foreign market. In 1991 we took over Nakke Plantage in Rørvig. 

Production and environment 

Presently our production extends to 150 ha of christmas trees and 25 ha of greenery. On a yearly basis about 100.000 trees and up to 100 t of greenery are sold from our plantations.

Growing christmas trees has become an almost horticultural business demanding great professional skills. Our plantations are maintained and nursed by our staff of competent and dedicated employees.

Gamekeeping and wildlife are still of great importance to us. We look upon nature holistically and take the greatest possible care to protect the environment. By applying mechanical weeding methods and a minimum use of fertilizing and spraying we are able to have a very efficient production in an environmentally safe way.

Quality and service 

The daily management of the plantations is now carried out by the company´s second generation, Ebbe Bach Nielsen (b. 1962). Being trained in the business from an early age he is an expert on growing and marketing christmas trees. Based on our vast experience and profound knowledge of the business we are constantly working on adjusting to the future´s demands. 

Our aim is to maintain our position among Denmark´s largest producers of high quality christmas trees. We put great emphasis on keeping a high level of service with our customers. Having a wide range of products we are able to accomodate any customer´s demand and we take great care to ensure that the delivery is in accordance with the order.

Our success is based on mutual trust. The personal contact is an essential factor and every year we have many customers visiting us from Denmark and abroad. Everybody is always welcome to view our plantations.
