Cornus x ‘Celestial Cameo’
The Dogwood Celestial Cameo is a carefully selected memorial tree, cultivated over four weeks in a specially prepared soil blend that incorporates a small portion of a loved one's or pet's ashes.
Chosen for its luminous late-spring blossoms, graceful form, and ability to thrive in British Columbia, it offers a lasting, living place to remember. Delivered across Vancouver and British Columbia at approximately 6–8 feet tall, ready to plant.
The Dogwood has long been associated with rebirth, purity, and quiet resilience. Blooming in late spring with luminous petal-like blossoms, it arrives as a gentle affirmation that renewal follows even the longest seasons of waiting. In British Columbia, the Dogwood is honoured as the provincial floral emblem- a symbol woven into the natural identity of the landscape itself. Delicate in appearance yet steadfast in nature, it reflects the enduring presence of love and the quiet strength found in remembrance.

Tree Delivery
Each Tribute Tree begins as a young sapling and is carefully tended over a 20-week process while ashes are gently incorporated into a specially prepared soil blend. Over this time, the tree establishes strong roots and lasting stability, preparing it to thrive in its new home. Delivery is thoughtfully coordinated for the ideal planting time, with service available across the Lower Mainland and custom options for other locations within British Columbia.
