Product Description
A faux olive tree with a natural wood trunk, available in three heights, from 5 ft to 7 ft, and set in a tall floor-standing planter. The foliage is durable PE, built to hold its colour and shape over time — a good match for a room going for a Mediterranean or formal look.
The 5 ft is a solid way to test whether the species suits your space before stepping up to a taller size. The tall planter suits both indoor and outdoor floor placement.

Which height should I buy for my room?
| Height | Ceiling it suits | What it does in the room |
|---|---|---|
| 5 ft | 8 ft | The smallest of the three sizes, good for testing the look before sizing up. |
| 6 ft | 8–9 ft | The middle option and the closest to a standard-room default. |
| 7 ft | 9 ft and over | The tallest size on this product; wants real air above the canopy. |
Choose by scale and ceiling height across the three sizes.
Artificial olive tree, or a real one?
| This tree | Live olive tree indoors in Canada | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Six to eight hours of direct sun — almost no Canadian interior supplies it |
| Common failure mode | None | Leaf drop within a single winter is the typical outcome indoors |
| Trunk | Natural wood | Real wood, and it thickens and silvers with age |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Frequently replaced after a failed winter or two |
| Maintenance | A damp cloth occasionally | Watering, feeding, rotation toward the light, pest checks |
Olive is one of the clearest cases for choosing artificial. It's a full-sun Mediterranean species, and a Canadian interior doesn't supply that light for half the year regardless of how good the window is.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
This tree ships compressed, with branches folded in against the trunk so the box survives transit — it will look flatter and thinner straight out of the box than in the photographs. Opening it out by hand is worth doing properly: work from the lowest branches upward, pull each stem away from its neighbour, and give the leaves individual angles rather than a uniform fan.
Olive branches are fine and the leaves small, so this tree takes a little longer to fluff convincingly than a broad-leaf tree of the same height — work the inner branches before the outer ones, or the canopy looks hollow from the side. Inspect the pot and trunk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Sustained, uncovered outdoor sun. For a spot that gets a full day of direct summer sun, choose a UV-rated tree instead.
- Anyone buying on leaf or fruit density. No counts are published at any of the three heights.
- Anyone who wants exact canopy dimensions before ordering. Only the floor-standing footprint is described; no width figure is given.
- Buyers who want a genuinely full-sun spot filled with a live tree. If you have that spot, a live olive rewards it in a way this tree can't; save this one for the rooms that don't have it.
Common questions
Is the trunk real wood on this olive tree?
Yes — a natural wood trunk, paired with lifelike fruit.
Can I put this olive tree outside?
The tall planter suits both indoor and outdoor floor placement. We'd treat it as fine for a covered or partly shaded outdoor spot, and would be cautious about a fully exposed, south-facing position for an entire Canadian summer, since it doesn't carry a UV rating.
What is the tree made of?
PE overall, chosen for durability and for holding its appearance over time, with a natural wood trunk.
What size olive tree fits a standard living room?
The 6 ft is the usual default for an 8 to 9 ft ceiling and sits in the middle of this product's three sizes. The 5 ft reads more as a corner filler, and the 7 ft wants roughly two feet of clear air above the canopy or it looks crammed.
