Description
Our faux Mediterranean olive tree stands at a generous 170cm tall, bringing the look of a mature olive to spaces where a real tree would struggle. Branches spread to around 80cm wide, dressed with slim green leaves and small clusters of ripening olives in tones of green through to russet. The trunk is moulded to mimic aged bark, complete with a slightly gnarled base, while the whole tree arrives set in a plain black plastic nursery pot. Made from polyethylene plastic with a natural foliage finish, it weighs 3.4kg and needs no watering, light or upkeep to keep looking full and green.
The upright shape and airy branches suit a bright hallway, living room corner or beside a fireplace, and it works well in Mediterranean, rustic and modern interiors alike. Slip the nursery pot inside a woven basket, terracotta planter or ceramic pot cover to finish the look, or leave it as it comes for a simpler feel. It also holds up in conservatories, offices, shopfronts and event spaces where a real plant would be hard to maintain. Position it near a sofa or open shelving to soften a room and add height.
The tree is built on wired branches that can be bent and fanned out to fill gaps and give a fuller, more natural silhouette. Leaves and olives are fixed to the stems, and the trunk feels solid to the touch. To care for it, wipe the foliage now and then with a dry or slightly damp cloth to lift dust, and reshape the branches whenever needed. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight to help preserve the green colour, and avoid soaking the pot. With occasional dusting it will stay looking its best for years.

Frequently Asked
What is the olive tree made from?
The foliage and olives are made from polyethylene plastic with a natural matt finish, set on wired branches with a moulded bark-effect trunk.
How tall is it and how wide does it spread?
It stands 170cm tall with a spread of around 80cm by 80cm, so allow room for the branches to fan out fully.
Does it come in a pot?
Yes, it arrives in a plain black plastic nursery pot. You can drop this straight into a decorative planter or basket of your choice.
How do I keep it looking good?
Dust the leaves occasionally with a dry or slightly damp cloth and reshape the branches as needed. Keep it out of prolonged direct sunlight to protect the colour.
Can I use it outdoors?
It is designed as an indoor faux plant. Brief covered outdoor use is fine, but lasting sun and weather may fade or damage the foliage over time.
Can the branches be adjusted?
Yes, the branches are wired so you can bend and angle them to create a fuller, more balanced shape once unboxed.
