Do I need ashes to plant an Olive Tree memorial?

No. Treebute Kits work beautifully as living memorials without cremation ashes. The cremation-safe soil is an optional add-on for those who want to incorporate ashes. Your Olive Tree is meaningful either way - the symbol of peace honors your loved one regardless.

What's included in the Olive Tree Treebute Kit?

Each kit includes a young, healthy Olive Tree; a planter designed for indoor display; Treebute organic soil blend or Potting Mix; and a planting & watering guide. One thoughtfully packaged kit - everything arrives together, ready to plant.

Can I keep my Olive Tree indoors?

Yes! Olive Trees make excellent indoor plants when placed in a sunny window with at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily. They're drought-tolerant, handle dry indoor air well, and can thrive indoors for decades with proper care. A south-facing window is ideal.

Can I plant an Olive Tree with cremation ashes?

Yes. Treebute Kits include an organic soil blend specially formulated to safely mix with cremation ashes, creating a nurturing foundation for tree growth. Your Olive Tree becomes a living tribute that can endure for generations.

How long do Olive Trees live?

Olive Trees are among the longest-lived trees on earth - some specimens in the Mediterranean are over 2,000 years old. Indoors with proper care, your Olive Tree can thrive for decades, making it a memorial that can be passed down through generations.

Are Olive Trees easy to care for?

Yes. Olive Trees evolved in harsh Mediterranean conditions with rocky soil and little water. They're drought-tolerant, prefer to dry out between waterings, and actually do well with a bit of benign neglect. Just give them plenty of sunlight and don't overwater.
