Reigate Red Posted December 5, 2020 Report Share Posted December 5, 2020 Was looking at Christmas trees online and there is a type of artificial tree called a Bedminster tree which is apparently characterised by it's slim profile. As far as I am aware there is only one Bedminster in the UK so was wondering how this name came to be. Any "ideals"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe the origin of the tree is Bernardsville-Bedminster in New Jersey USA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
