Fruit Cocktail Treebute Tree
A living tribute that grows more meaningful with every harvest.
The Fruit Cocktail Tree brings something few memorial trees offer: several fruit varieties, often peaches, plums, apricots, and nectarines, all grafted onto a single tree. Each branch produces its own fruit, so your tribute rewards you with a different harvest throughout the season.
Each Treebute is a complete memorial tree kit designed to be planted at home, a hands-on ritual that many people find grounding and healing.
The act of planting gives your hands something purposeful to do and creates meaning, forming a living connection that continues to grow.

Why You'll Love the Fruit Cocktail Tree
- Several fruits, one tree: grafted branches produce different stone fruits, like peaches, plums, and nectarines, extending your harvest across the season.
- Spring blossoms, then fruit: covers itself in blooms before settling into a productive growing season.
- A manageable size: grown on semi-dwarf rootstock, it fits well into smaller yards without sacrificing production.
A Living Memorial That Grows With You
Finding a meaningful way to honor someone you love can feel overwhelming. A Treebute tree offers something different, a living expression of love that grows stronger each year. It gives your hands something to do and your heart something to hold.
The act of planting creates meaning. The growth creates hope. The tree creates a place to remember.

Nurturing Your Memorial Tribute
Even if you're new to planting, the Fruit Cocktail Tree is a forgiving, self-pollinating tree that rewards simple care with a season of varied fruit.
-
Light: Full sun. Aim for 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight daily for the best fruiting and healthiest growth.
-
Water: Water deeply and regularly during the first year to help the grafts establish. Once settled, keep soil evenly moist through bloom and fruiting, tapering off between.
-
Space: Plan for a mature spread of about 8 to 12 feet. Give it room away from walls, fences, or other trees.
Prune in late winter to keep the canopy open and give each grafted variety equal room to grow, taking care never to remove a graft entirely. A light tip-prune after harvest encourages new fruiting wood for next season.
Optional: Plant with Cremation Ashes - The Treebute® Difference
For those wishing to incorporate cremation ashes, your kit includes the option to add our Treebute® organic soil blend. This specially formulated mixture creates a safe, nurturing foundation for your tree - transforming ashes into living growth.
Your tree is meaningful with or without ashes - this is simply another way to honor someone you love.
