Product Description
Short answer: a faux Ficus lyrata, 4 ft tall, one size only. The leaf count is exact — 72 — along with a named 5.5×4.9 in black PP pot filled with concrete for stability. The leaves are silk and plastic on an internal metal wire frame. At 4 ft this is a corner or side-table tree, not a room-scale statement piece.
Most fiddle leaf fig trees describe themselves as full or lush without a number behind either word. This one states 72 leaves at 4 ft, which gives you something concrete to compare against — a genuinely useful figure in a category where density claims are almost always adjectives rather than counts.
The pot is specified precisely: a 5.5×4.9 in black PP pot filled with concrete for stability. Named pot material and dimensions, on a floor tree this size, is more detail than most listings in this price range provide, and it answers the "will it tip over" question more concretely than a generic weighted-base claim.
The trade-off is scale. At 4 ft this is a corner filler or a side-table companion, not the room's focal point, and a leaf count that reads as generous at this size would read as sparse on a 6 ft or 7 ft tree. If you're choosing this tree specifically for the published leaf count, remember that number applies to this height only.

A young live fiddle leaf fig at this scale often carries fewer than 72 leaves and is still establishing, which is exactly the stage most first-time owners lose the plant at. If the point of ownership is watching it grow, the live plant is the honest choice, and you accept the risk that comes with it; if the point is a settled, full-looking tree from day one, the fixed leaf count here is the advantage.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
This tree arrives with leaves and branches pre-assembled, with no setup time required beyond unboxing and placing it. That's a genuine difference from taller trees that need twenty minutes or more of branch-opening before the canopy looks right; at 4 ft with a concrete-filled pot, there's simply less canopy to fluff.
A concrete-filled pot is heavier than a hollow one, which adds handling weight in transit. Inspect the pot seam and the trunk base before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Anyone wanting a room-scale statement tree. At 4 ft this is a corner or side-table piece. For something people notice when they walk in, look at one of the taller fiddle leaf figs in our range instead.
- Direct outdoor sun. Best suited to indoor use; for spots with strong, unbroken sun, choose a UV-rated model instead.
- Anyone who needs a taller version with the same leaf density. The 72-leaf count is specific to this 4 ft size; it doesn't tell you how full a taller tree will be.
- Homes with cats that chew leaves. The leaves are securely attached to prevent shedding under normal handling, which isn't the same as being chew-proof.
Common questions
How many leaves does this fiddle leaf fig have?
72, at the stated 4 ft height. That's an unusually specific figure in this category — most fiddle leaf fig listings describe themselves as full or lush without a number attached. A 4 ft tree at 72 leaves reads as reasonably dense from across a room; the same count spread over a 6 ft or 7 ft tree would look sparse, so treat this figure as specific to this size only.
Do I need to assemble it?
No. The leaves and branches arrive pre-assembled, with no setup time required beyond unboxing and placing the tree — no branch-opening step needed.
What is the pot made of?
A black PP (polypropylene) pot measuring 5.5×4.9 in, filled with concrete for stability. Both the material and the dimensions are named, which is more specific than the generic "black pot" description many comparable trees use. The concrete fill is also what keeps a 4 ft tree from feeling top-heavy despite its relatively compact pot footprint.
Is the tree suitable for outdoor use?
This tree is intended for indoor placement. No UV rating or outdoor-exposure figure is published, so treat it as an indoor tree.
Can I use it in a restaurant or cafe entrance?
Restaurant entrances, patios and cafes are among the suggested placements, alongside the more usual living room and office settings — think covered or indoor-adjacent commercial space rather than open outdoor exposure. At 4 ft it also suits a hostess stand or entrance console well, where a taller tree would otherwise crowd the space.
