“One lives in the hope of becoming a memory.”

WHITE OAK

Sensible. Very strong minded, self-willed, honest, loyal, independent, hates arguments, hard worker, loves life and friends, and great intelligence.

Respected 20th century naturalist Donald Peattie once said, “If oak is the king of trees, as tradition has it, then the white oak, throughout its range, is the king of kings.” It is a bold statement to be sure, but many agree with him. Perhaps this is why it is the state tree of Connecticut, Illinois and Maryland.

This beautiful tree can be found presiding over pastures, providing shade in urban parks and suburban neighborhoods and thriving in natural stands throughout the eastern United States and southeastern Canada.

  • Provides great fall color, with leaves turning showy shades of red or burgundy.
  • Develops notably strong branches.
  • Can live for centuries.
  • Features alternating leaves that are 4–8″ long with 3–4 rounded, finger-like lobes on each side and one at the tip. Intervening sinuses sometimes reach almost to the mid-rib.
  • Produces long, yellowish-green catkins drooping in clusters in the spring.
  • Yields acorns that are up to 1″ long with warty cap that covers about ¼ of the nut.
  • Grows in an oval or rounded shape.
  • Develops a deep taproot, making it difficult to transplant.
  • Is extremely sensitive to soil compaction and grade changes.
  • The white oak can be expected to grow in Hardiness Zones 3–9.
  • The white oak grows to a height of 50–80′ and a spread of 50–80′ at maturity.
  • This tree grows at a slow to medium rate, with height increases of anywhere from less than 12″ to 24″ per year.
  • Full sun and partial shade are best for this tree, meaning it prefers a minimum of four hours of direct, unfiltered sunlight each day.

Why Full Circle?

This company was born from our own experiences and needs. We truly felt that we could not be the only ones that wanted to honor the lives of our loved ones in ways that best fit their personalities. While grieving, we wanted an easy and transparent way to purchase the products and services we desired to memorialize our recently deceased. Surprisingly, this was difficult to find. Traditional funeral homes kept trying to sell us products we did not want and did not offer what we needed. Some even smirked when we were seeking services for our deceased animal companions.

We value all life and believe honoring our deceased is the ultimate final expression of love that we can offer. This is why Full Circle was created.

Full Circle is the company I needed when my best friend Bonnie passed away. I will never forget their professionalism, understanding, and passion to help me through this dark time. They gave me ideas on how to celebrate the life of Bonnie, and I finally settled on their baby tree memorial. I can now look out through my window every day and see Bonnie’s final resting place and the new baby tree she is giving life to. Thank you Full Circle.
