Product Description
A faux bamboo tree with three trunks and 830 leaves, one size at 6 ft. It ships ready to display in a sturdy nursery pot weighted with PE moss and cement soil. As with most artificial bamboo, the argument for buying it is simple: true bamboo is a difficult, invasive-outdoors plant that sheds leaves in dry indoor air — this tree never asks that question in the first place.
Live bamboo has a branding problem that works in this tree's favour: what most people picture as houseplant bamboo, the twisted stalks in a glass vase, is lucky bamboo — a dracaena rather than true bamboo at all. True bamboo itself is a vigorous, spreading grass that is invasive if ever planted outdoors and a poor houseplant besides, dropping leaves steadily once a Canadian home's dry winter heating kicks in. A three-trunk faux version sidesteps all of that and simply gives you the cane-and-leaf silhouette people are actually shopping for.
The three-trunk arrangement matters for bamboo specifically — a single-trunk faux bamboo reads thin and stick-like, while multiple trunks clustered together are what make the silhouette recognizable at a glance. And at 830 leaves, this tree carries a genuine density figure, so you can compare fullness across our bamboo range instead of taking "lush" on faith. No assembly is required.

Artificial bamboo tree, or a real one?
| This tree | Live bamboo | |
|---|---|---|
| Trunk count | Three trunks, fixed | A live clump can spread to dozens of canes, unpredictably |
| What it actually is | 830-leaf faux bamboo silhouette | Often confused with lucky bamboo, which is a dracaena, not bamboo |
| Dry winter air | No effect | Common cause of steady leaf drop in a heated home |
| Assembly required | None | Establishing a live clump takes a full growing season or more |
| Cost, year one | Paid once, at purchase | Comparable or higher for a nursery specimen of similar scale |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Repotting, division, and containment if grown near other plants |
| Where it genuinely wins | N/A | Watching new canes emerge each season, which no faux tree replicates |
The honest reason to grow true bamboo is the plant's own vigour — new canes pushing up each season — and that same vigour is precisely why it is a poor fit for most Canadian interiors and a genuine outdoor hazard if it escapes a container.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
No assembly is required, so expect a shorter setup than a typical floor tree that needs its canopy fluffed by hand. Still check that all three trunks sit evenly in the pot after unpacking; a trunk that shifted slightly in transit is a quick fix if you catch it before styling the space around it.
Inspect the pot and the trunks when your delivery arrives, and photograph any transit damage before you unpack further. The cement-weighted soil is what keeps a three-trunk arrangement stable, so a cracked or shifted base is worth catching immediately.
Who should not buy this?
- Anyone shopping for an outdoor spot. This tree is made for home and office use; for a spot with direct sun, choose a UV-rated model from our range instead.
- Anyone who wants true bamboo's growth habit. Three fixed trunks and 830 leaves, permanently; it will never send up a new cane.
Common questions
Is this the same as lucky bamboo?
No, and neither is most live bamboo sold as a houseplant. Lucky bamboo is a dracaena, not a true bamboo species, and true bamboo itself is a vigorous grass that is a poor houseplant candidate — it wants more light than most rooms get and drops leaves in dry winter heating. This artificial tree reproduces the visual silhouette of a bamboo stand, three trunks and 830 leaves, without asking any actual plant to survive conditions it was never suited to.
How many leaves and trunks does this tree have?
Three trunks and 830 leaves in total. That leaf figure is a genuine density number, comparable to the 924-leaf single-trunk bamboo tree elsewhere in our catalogue, and gives you an actual point of comparison rather than a vague description of fullness. Three trunks clustered together is also specifically what makes a faux bamboo read as bamboo, versus a single stick-like trunk.
Does it need to be assembled?
No — you should be able to unpack it and place it directly rather than seating trunks into sockets or opening branches out by hand. We would still recommend checking that all three trunks sit level and secure in the pot after transit before you consider it finished, since shipping can shift even a pre-assembled arrangement.
Can I put this outside?
This tree is designed for home and office use, so keep it indoors. In direct outdoor sun, an unrated artificial tree risks visible colour fading over one or two seasons — for that kind of spot, a UV-rated model is the better choice.
What holds the pot in place so it doesn't tip?
The nursery pot is weighted with PE moss and cement soil, which adds both realism and stability. Cement fill is a genuinely heavy, low-centre-of-gravity solution compared to a hollow plastic pot, and with three trunks distributing weight across the base rather than one, this arrangement sits more securely than a single-trunk tree of similar height.
