Give a Tree to Your Loved Ones

Have you been thinking about sending flowers to a loved one? You might want to think about sending them a tree instead!

Trees make great gifts because, in today’s world, becoming more environmentally conscious is more than a trend – it’s a necessity. As a result, the concept of gifting trees has gained significant popularity. Gifting trees is not only a unique and thoughtful gesture but also a step towards a more sustainable and greener future.

But trees aren’t just great for the planet – as gifts, they can also help commemorate life’s most precious moments, from births to marriages.

Why Trees Make Great Gifts

Trees are a perfect gift for every celebration. When you send your loved ones a healthy, sturdy, beautiful citrus tree from Hale Groves, you send them a gift that keeps giving for many years – one that changes with the seasons, giving them something new and beautiful to see and experience throughout the year.

Unlike flower bouquets, a properly cared for tree will last for years – sometimes even generations. Fruit trees are even lovelier gifts because not only are they beautiful – they produce sweet-smelling blossoms and, eventually, delicious fruit to enjoy. Whether you choose a tree for your loved one to plant outdoors or a dwarf variety of fruit tree they can nourish indoors, your gift will arrive with detailed care instructions so it will flourish with very little effort.

Finally, trees are good for the environment. In addition to providing us with the oxygen we breathe, trees also provide shelter and food for birds and animals.

5 Occasions on Which Trees Make a Great Gift

Wondering when to send a tree as a gift?

1. For new parents. Instead of a gift of flowers, sending a tree to commemorate the addition of a new family member is a wonderful gift because new parents can watch the tree grow even as their child grows. The development of the tree will come to symbolize the progress of their child, and in time the little one will experience the pride of plucking fruit from “their” tree that’s close in age to themselves.
2. As an expression of sympathy. Have you lost someone close to you, or do you want to comfort someone who has? A tree makes a truly meaningful and enduring tribute and is a great way to honor the memory of the departed one. Most citrus trees are evergreens, and by giving a citrus tree as a gift you’re subtly letting your loved one know the memory of the departed person will be evergreen in the hearts of many.
3. As a house-warming gift. A new home feels more homelike when personal touches are added, and a gift of a tree is personal indeed! The backyard of a new house will feel more like their own than ever when your recipient plants their very own Valencia Orange Tree in it, while a Mini Australian Finger Lime Tree can be grown in a sunny location indoors, letting the new homeowner experience the thrill of preparing recipes using fruit they harvest themselves from their own tree.
4. To a newly married couple. What can be a better gift on the occasion of a marriage than a fruit tree? The everlasting beauty of a tree mirrors the beauty of a new union in its infancy, and with its own growth and increasing sturdiness symbolizes how we hope a relationship will grow and strengthen over time. (Plus, young couples will appreciate saving money on fruit when their Orange or Lemon tree starts producing!)
5. To mark a milestone. Trees symbolize strength, long life and happiness, making them ideal gifts for birthdays, anniversaries, a new job, promotion, graduation, or any time that celebrates a new beginning. Fruit trees make especially wonderful gifts because they stand for the fruitfulness you hope is ahead of them going forward.

No matter how old we get, the charm of watching growing things flourish never gets old. When you send a gift of a tree, you ensure the smiles will last for years to come!
