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

SOUTHERN MAGNOLIA

Optimist. Intelligent, hard working, always improving situations, hates fighting and stress, makes sacrifices, very positive, and a problem solver.

Southern magnolia is a magnificent tree with a name that is somewhat misleading. Although it is most prevalent in the South—and the state tree of Mississippi—its zone 6 planting range means it can grow in many northern areas, even as far north as parts of Maine, Michigan and Washington.

As an ornamental, it is beloved for its year-round foliage and delightful, large, late-spring flowers.

  • Produces creamy white flowers, sometimes up to 12″ in diameter, with a rich fragrance.
  • Blooms May through June, with some blossoms throughout the summer months.
  • Is an evergreen, keeping most (but not all) of its leaves year-round.
  • Features leathery leaves 5–10″ in length, lustrous dark green on top with a soft, rusty underside.
  • Needs protection from winter sun and winds in northern areas.
  • Yields fruit that is 3–8″ long, attracting birds.
  • Grows in an oval, pyramidal shape.
  • Has a shallow and wide-spreading root system.
  • May be better placed in landscaping rather than along a street due to the leathery leaves and large seed pods that are shed in the fall.
  • The southern magnolia can be expected to grow in Hardiness Zones 6–10.
  • The southern magnolia grows to a height of 60–80′ and a spread of around 40′ 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.
