Notable Characteristics of Memorial Tree
A Memorial Tree promotes and supports local wildlife, including bees and butterflies who pollinate, birds and small mammals who make their home in the branches, and insects too. Besides this, they promote a sensory and emotional experience – from choosing your tree, to carefully planting it, to watching it grow and thrive for years to come.
This organism remains as a physical way to honor and remember someone when they are no longer with you. It’s a living tribute to your memories, whose beauty you will love to gaze upon for decades to come.

How To Grow
How to Grow and Care for Bare Root Trees
Bare root trees are shipped dormant without soil, making them lightweight, cost-effective, and easy to plant during the cool months of early spring or fall. To begin, soak the roots in a bucket of water for 4–6 hours before planting to rehydrate them. Choose a sunny location with well-draining soil and ample space for the tree’s mature size.
Dig a hole twice as wide as the spread of the roots and deep enough to keep the root flare (where the roots begin to spread from the trunk) at or slightly above ground level. Create a small mound of soil in the center of the hole, spread the roots evenly over it, backfill with native soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.
Keep the soil consistently moist (not soggy) during the first growing season, and apply mulch around the base—avoiding direct contact with the trunk—to conserve moisture and suppress weeds. Stake the tree if necessary, and prune only to remove dead or damaged branches. With proper care, your bare root tree will establish quickly and grow strong for years to come.
