This unique bio urn has quickly become a popular tree memorial option for families all over the world with tens of thousands of memory trees planted.

Five of the Most Colorful Trees Planted with The Living Urn’s Tree Pod
-
Red Maple
The Red Maple tree displays brilliant color year-round! From its amazing red shoots in the winter, to the beautiful gold and orange autumn foliage and bright green leaves in the spring and summer, it’s truly a sight to see! In addition to its sheer beauty, the Red Maple is one of the hardiest trees available in the U.S. and has one of the broadest growing areas – it can be found as far south as Florida to as far north as Maine!
The Red Maple is also an intelligent tree, with a highly adaptive root system. Its roots can adjust to most soil conditions and grow more vertical in dry conditions and laterally in wet, soggy soil. In addition, the red maple is fast growing (up to 3 feet per year!). With its fast growth and dense canopy, the Red Maple provides excellent shade and serves as a nice barrier from the hot summer sun.
According to a 2019 survey performed by The Living Urn, the Red Maple is the most popular tree planted with a bio urn in America and the favorite tree memorial of families in 12 U.S. states!

Crape Myrtle
The Crape Myrtle is a beautiful tree that, depending on the variety, can display brilliant purple, pink, white, red, or white flowers. It’s a smaller tree compared with others and therefore a great tree for families who have limited space to plant. Given its sheer beauty and smaller size, it is the most popular tree memorial grown in Florida and Louisiana and a top five tree in many other states! In addition, this beautiful tree grows quickly in most conditions and, once established, can be drought tolerant.

Eastern Redbud
The Eastern Redbud Tree displays stunning pink and purple flowers that bloom in the Spring! In addition, its heart-shaped leaves show amazing red, green and yellow colors throughout the year. Similar to the Crape Myrtle, the Eastern Redbud is also a smaller tree that can fit in areas with limited space. Its branches grow at unique and irregular patterns, making each Eastern Redbud tree highly unique. George Washington wrote multiple times about how beautiful the redbud tree is and moved a series of redbuds from nearby forestland into his garden.
