Jane Magnolia Treebute
A compact, cold-hardy tribute with tulip-shaped blooms that arrive late enough to escape frost.
The Jane Magnolia offers large, fragrant, tulip-shaped blooms in a rich blend of reddish-purple and deep pink, opening on bare branches before the leaves emerge. Unlike many magnolias, it blooms late enough in spring to avoid frost damage, and it's hardy enough to thrive across most of the continental United States.
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.

Nurturing Your Memorial Tribute
Even if you're new to planting, the Jane Magnolia is hardy and reliable, rewarding simple care with one of the most striking blooms in the garden.
-
Light: Full sun to partial shade. More sun encourages the strongest bloom display, especially in cooler climates.
-
Water: Water deeply after planting and keep the root zone evenly moist through the first growing seasons. Established trees benefit from supplemental water during drought or extreme heat, especially while buds are forming.
-
Space: Plan for a mature size of about 10 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide, with a compact, rounded form.
Magnolia roots are fleshy and don't like disturbance, so choose its planting spot with care from the start. Prune only right after flowering, if shaping is needed, to avoid cutting off next year's buds.
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.
