memorial tree
Planted for remembrance
A memorial tree is a tree planted to honor or remember someone who has died.
The living, growing nature of a tree makes it a symbol of ongoing life and legacy.
Memorial trees may be planted in parks, cemeteries, or private property, sometimes with a plaque identifying the person commemorated: We planted a memorial tree for my father in the backyard.
