Honor Your Loved One in a Way That Lives On

Finding the right way to honor a loved one’s life can be difficult. The Norway Spruce offers a strong, enduring presence - standing tall and evergreen through every season. It becomes a constant reminder of love and connection, rooted deeply in memory and growth.

Optional Cremation Use - Why Choose Treebute

For people wishing to incorporate cremation ashes, each Treebute Kit has the option to include Treebute® organic soil blend. This scientifically formulated mixture balances the naturally high pH and sodium levels in cremated remains, safely transforming them into a nourishing foundation for your tree. It’s a gentle, healing option if and when the time feels right.

  • Transforms Ashes Into Life: A thoughtful alternative to scattering or storing ashes.
  • Creates a Moment of Healing: Planting your tree becomes a heartfelt, hands-on step forward.

There’s comfort in watching something take root. As the Norway Spruce matures - slowly, steadily - it becomes more than just a tree. Grief doesn’t have a timeline - but it does have seasons.  Treebute trees become a companion to your grief; a quiet place to reflect, and a living memory of the love you never stopped feeling.

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.
