Nov-AprilA memorial tree is a tree in someone's memory, so let TN Nursery ship it to you. They hold profound significance when used in landscaping, offering a range of benefits beyond aesthetic considerations. Its role in honoring and commemorating loved ones, contributing to the environment, fostering emotional connections, and adding a timeless and meaningful element to the landscape make it a significant addition.
The purpose of planting a Memorial Tree is to commemorate a person, an event, or a significant milestone by providing a living monument to symbolize the memory of the departed. There are many types available. In the spring, cherry blossoms produce beautiful pink or white flowers representing rebirth and the fleeting quality of life. Towering oaks are a symbol of steadfastness, knowledge, and fortitude. As a metaphor for transformation and the recursive character of life, maples display a kaleidoscope of colored leaves in the autumn. The lovely white or pink blossoms that emerge in the spring from dogwoods represent rebirth and innocence. The magnolias' vast, fragrant flowers and glossy leaves represent virtues such as grace, tenacity, and beauty.
The natural canopies they create along walkways provide welcome shade and a calming atmosphere. When used as a border, they add beauty to garden settings by gracefully defining areas. Their ever-changing leaves, vibrant flowers, and seasonal variations make for a visually appealing landscape that invites contemplation and memory-keeping strolls. One with a climbing growth habit and pliable branches like cherries are ideal for creating natural archways.
Memorial plants improve yard health by attracting a wide range of pollinators. Cherry blossoms have copious amounts of nectar-rich blooms that attract bees and butterflies. Oaks encourage insect and bird pollination—hummingbirds really like maples. Magnolias are a haven for insects and beetles. Their canopies soak up precipitation, slowing its flow and letting it seep into the earth, which reduces the likelihood of soil runoff and erosion issues.
Memorial Trees provide a sensory and emotional experience that connects us to nature and inspires wonder and admiration. Their symphony of natural noises, including the rustle of leaves, birdsong, and insects buzzing, create serene environments. Some produce pleasant aromas that connect you to nature through your sense of smell.

Care
Often chosen for their symbolic significance, Memorial Trees thrive in well-drained soil with regular watering. Prune dead or damaged branches annually to maintain health and shape. Mulch close to the ground to maintain moisture and protect the roots.
Plant Reproduction
Memorial Tree spreads by suckering and produces dense, spreading foliage
Plant bare root trees during the dormant season in early spring or late fall (November through April). Dig the hole twice as wide as the roots so the soil is well-drained. Position the tree so the root flare is at or just above ground level. Fill the hole back with the soil you dug from and water. Maintain soil moisture, especially in the tree's early years, by providing deep, regular watering. Apply a 2-4 inch mulch away from the trunk at the base to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune trees during the first few seasons to establish strength and resilience, remove damaged branches, and continue maintenance pruning as the tree matures. Regularly inspect for pests and diseases and apply integrated pest management practices. Protect young trees from mechanical damage and extreme temperatures with tree guards, and stake them if necessary for support, removing the stakes after one or two years.
