Quercus palustris ‘Green Pillar’

The Oak Green Pillar 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 beauty, structure, 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.

A columnar oak is both a promise and a monument. Though it begins with a modest footprint, it grows with quiet intention, strengthening first below the surface, where deep roots anchor it with steadiness and resolve. ‘Green Pillar’ rises upright and assured, a living symbol of resilience and enduring presence. It reminds us that strength does not need to spread wide to be powerful; it can stand tall, focused, and unwavering through every season. Brilliant scarlet in autumn and steadfast through winter, its upright form holding its shape through wind and weather alike. A legacy tree built not for a moment, but for generations.
