An evergreen stays green through every season, which many families see as a symbol of enduring love and everlasting remembrance. It offers a year-round living presence, a comfort in winter when other trees have lost their leaves.

Most evergreens are hardy and low-maintenance, which makes them among the easiest memorial trees to care for. The Teddy Bear Southern Magnolia is a standout for a single tribute, with glossy evergreen leaves and fragrant blooms and very little fuss. Your Treebute planting guide covers the simple watering and care each variety needs.

It varies by variety. Some evergreens, like the Thuja Green Giant, are known for vigorous growth, while others grow more slowly and stay compact. Each product page describes what to expect so you can choose what fits your space.

Each Treebute kit includes a young, healthy tree or plant (size you select), simple planting instructions, and your personalized memorial message. One thoughtfully packaged kit, everything arrives together, ready to plant.

Ashes need proper preparation before planting, since untreated cremains can affect soil chemistry, and your Treebute planting guide walks you through doing it safely. Many families also plant their tree without ashes, and the tribute is just as meaningful either way.

Yes. Tall, columnar evergreens like the American Pillar Thuja and Thuja Green Giant are often planted as living screens, so your tribute can offer beauty and privacy at once.

Every Treebute order is backed by our 30-day Care Guarantee. If your tree or kit arrives in poor condition, is the wrong variety, or does not meet reasonable quality expectations, contact us within 30 days of delivery and we will make it right, with a replacement, a full refund, or store credit, your choice. Because dormant winter trees need time to wake up, orders placed between November 1 and February 28 are covered through May 15. After planting, a tree's health depends on care and conditions in your own space, so we include clear planting and watering guidance, and our team is here whenever you have questions.

We ship anywhere in the connected lower 48 states. Because trees are matched to growing conditions, the varieties available to you may depend on your climate. Due to state restrictions, we do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii, or outside the United States.
