Product Description
At 2.5 m (8.2 ft) this faux olive is well past bonsai scale despite the name, built from PE plastic and silk cloth with a trunk finished to the colour and texture of real wood. It arrives in a PP plastic pot weighted with black mud.
What kind of pot does it come in?
A PP plastic flowerpot filled with black mud, and the mud is there for ballast rather than decoration. That weight is what keeps a 2.5 m tree upright without staking, and it is also why the delivered piece is heavier than it looks.
Can this go outside?
Only with UV protection - that's a firm condition, not a suggestion. Indoors it needs nothing; outdoors, PE foliage and silk cloth will both fade without a UV treatment or a shaded position, so plan for one or the other.
Will it look real up close?
The soft-touch PE leaves respond correctly to the hand and the trunk finish is convincing at a metre. Silk cloth elements are the weak point at very close range - fabric edges do not behave the way a real olive leaf does.
