Free Tree Of Life Mandala Coloring Printable for Adults (Free Printables)
Curated by Coloring Therapy
This tree of life mandala coloring printable gives you a whole set of symmetric tree designs, each one a single tree centered inside a bold radial mandala. You get classic trees ringed in a clean circle with branches above and roots below, trees framed by sunburst rays, trees wrapped in layered lotus and flower petals, and bolder trees in open medallions with more room to breathe. Every page keeps that mirror symmetry, so the tree reads as calm and balanced at the heart of the pattern.
There are 31 pages, and they slide from roomy and forgiving to slow and intricate. Some frames are simple rings with large petals you can fill in a single sitting, while others layer concentric bands of scallops, dots, and tiny blossoms out to the edge. That range means you can grab a quick page on a weeknight or settle in with a dense one on a long Sunday, all from the same book.
Every page prints clean on standard letter paper at home, and the bold outer outline keeps your colors contained even when you work fast. Here is a quick tour of what's inside and a few ideas for getting the most out of it.

Classic ringed trees, sunburst frames, floral petal borders, and open medallion trees
The book moves through four loose framing styles, so you can pick a page based on the kind of coloring session you want to spend the next hour on.
Classic ringed trees
A tree of life sits inside a clean circular ring, branches reaching up and roots reaching down in mirror symmetry, framed by concentric bands of petals and dots. These are the most balanced, meditative pages, with the tree as a clear focal point. Colored pencils suit them well, letting you shade the canopy from light to dark.
Sunburst frames
Here the tree is surrounded by a ring of long pointed petals and geometric rays that fan outward like a sun. The contrast between the organic tree and the sharp radial frame makes a striking page. Fine tip markers hold the crisp points of the sunburst, while the branches stay soft and open.
Floral petal borders
These pages ring the tree with layered lotus and flower petals, scalloped arcs, and small blossoms, so the whole design reads as one big flower with a tree at its heart. They are lush and roomy, with plenty of large petals to fill. A relaxing choice when you want a softer, more decorative frame.
Open medallion trees
The friendliest pages in the set, with a bolder tree in a simpler medallion and more open white space around it. Less tiny detail means they finish faster and feel like a win. A good place to start if you are easing back into a longer coloring habit or want a calmer page.
The tree at the center and the mandala frame around it can be two different color stories, so it helps to plan those before you start.
What's inside these tree of life adult coloring pages
The tree of life adult coloring pages here vary the frame around the tree on purpose, so the book doesn't feel like the same design 31 times. Some trees sit in a clean circular ring, some are surrounded by a sunburst of pointed petals, and some are wrapped in soft lotus and flower borders. The tree at the center changes too, from a full leafy canopy to bare curling branches to a blossoming crown.
That mix means each page asks for something a little different. A ringed tree is calm and meditative, a sunburst frame is bold and graphic, and a floral border is lush and decorative. You can flip through and pick the mood you want before you even choose a color.
Two color stories on every page
The nice thing about a tree inside a mandala is that you really have two designs to color: the tree and the frame around it. A common approach is to keep the tree natural, brown trunk and green canopy, then let the surrounding mandala go anywhere you like, warm sunset tones or cool blues and purples. The two parts hold together because the tree anchors the center.
If you want the tree to pop, color the mandala frame in lighter tones and save your darkest, richest colors for the trunk and canopy. The contrast pushes the tree forward and makes the whole page feel like it has depth, even though it is flat line art.
The meaning behind the symbol
The tree of life shows up across many cultures as a symbol of growth, connection, and roots, which is part of why it is such a satisfying thing to color slowly. You do not need to know any of that to enjoy the pages, but a lot of people find the branches reaching up and the roots reaching down a calming shape to spend time with.
Because the design is symmetric, it is also forgiving to color. You can mirror your color choices from one side to the other, or deliberately break the symmetry with your palette. Either way the balanced structure keeps the finished page looking tidy and complete.
Getting the most from your tree of life mandala coloring printable
If you are easing in, start with an open medallion tree. They have a bolder tree and more white space, so they finish faster and feel like a win. The densely ringed and floral bordered pages are the deep end, with pattern running all the way out to the border, and they reward an afternoon when you want the project to last.
These also make warm, simple gifts. A finished tree of life looks striking in a plain frame and carries a bit of meaning, so it is a nice one to give. Print a couple of extra copies of your favorite design so you can try a different palette each time and keep the one you like best.

What does the tree of life mandala coloring printable include?
31 pages, each a single tree of life centered inside a bold radial mandala. You get classic trees in a clean ring, trees framed by sunburst rays, trees wrapped in lotus and flower petals, and bolder trees in open medallions. The frames vary so the book stays interesting.
Do the trees all look the same?
No. The tree at the center changes from page to page, from a full leafy canopy to bare curling branches to a blossoming crown, and the mandala frame around it shifts between rings, sunbursts, and floral borders. That variety keeps the set from feeling repetitive.
How should I color a tree inside a mandala?
Treat it as two designs in one. Keep the tree natural with a brown trunk and green canopy, then color the surrounding mandala in any palette you like, warm or cool. The tree anchors the center, so the two parts still read as one balanced page.
How do I make the tree stand out from the frame?
Color the mandala frame in lighter tones and save your darkest, richest colors for the trunk and canopy. That contrast pushes the tree forward and gives the flat line art a sense of depth.
Which tree of life adult coloring pages are easiest to start with?
The open medallion trees. They have a bolder tree and more white space around it, so they finish faster and feel like a win. Save the densely ringed and floral bordered pages for when you want a longer, more absorbing session.
Is the tree of life design meaningful?
For many people, yes. It shows up across cultures as a symbol of growth, roots, and connection, and a lot of colorists find the branches reaching up and roots reaching down a calming shape to spend time with. You can simply enjoy the symmetry without any of that if you prefer.
Can I frame a finished page?
Definitely. A completed tree of life looks striking in a plain frame and carries a bit of meaning, which makes it a thoughtful gift. Printing on slightly heavier paper gives the finished piece more of a keepsake feel.
