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

SAUCER MAGNOLIA

Artistic. Fashionable, talented, courageous if necessary, desires appreciation, particular, philosophical, and reliable in any situation.

The saucer magnolia is a landscape show-stopper. The stunning early spring blossoms have been said to open “like a thousand porcelain goblets,” and lush summertime leaves are dark green and leathery—adding nice contrast to silvery-gray bark. One of the most popular flowering trees in the United States, the saucer magnolia is also widely planted in Europe.

If you’re in search of a specimen tree or shrub to make a splash in your yard, look no further.

  • Produces attractive pink and white flowers, appearing as saucers that are 5–10″ in diameter.
  • Blooms late February to April, with some blossoms reappearing throughout the summer months and possibly into winter. Color tends to fade with re-emerging flowers.
  • Can be trained to grow as either a shrub, small tree with multiple stems or single-trunk tree.
  • Features thick and soft leaves 3–6″ in length with a smooth margin and pointed tip, dark green on top with a fuzzy underside.
  • Yields elongated fruit that is up to 4″ long, seldom produced in significant numbers.
  • Has some pollution tolerance.
  • Grows in a rounded shape.
  • Needs seasonal protection in areas with cold winters for the first couple of years.
  • Has thin bark that is easily damaged by lawnmowers, weed cutters, etc.
  • The saucer magnolia can be expected to grow in Hardiness Zones 4–9.
  • The saucer magnolia grows to a height of 20–30′ and a spread of around 25′ at maturity.
  • This tree grows at a medium rate, with height increases of 13–24″ per year.
  • Full sun is the ideal condition for this tree, meaning it should get at least six 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.
