Product Description
A faux olive tree at a single height, 5 ft, in a pot, with extra branches added for a fuller, more lush look.
Olive is the settled, Mediterranean-reading tree most buyers reach for when they want a floor piece that looks grown-in rather than staged, and a single 5 ft height is a straightforward one-decision purchase — no ladder of sizes to weigh, just one tree. It comes in a pot, stated plainly rather than left as an unspecified "planter".
The tree ships in compressible, detachable packaging, meaning it arrives in parts rather than as one fixed piece, ready to be opened out and shaped by hand.

This olive tree, or a real one?
| This tree | Live olive tree indoors in Canada | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Six to eight hours of direct sun most Canadian rooms cannot provide |
| Cost, year one | One-time purchase | A live tree, plus a pot |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Frequently replaced after a failed winter or two |
| Maintenance | Wipe with a cloth | Watering, feeding, repotting, pest control |
The honest case for the live tree is the growth and character it develops over years — a trunk that thickens and silvers with age, and leaves you can name the exact origin of. For a floor piece you want looking finished from day one, with none of the winter risk, this is the simpler purchase.
What's in the box, and how do I set it up?
This tree ships in detachable, compressible packaging: branches arrive folded or separated to survive transit, and need opening out and reassembling by hand before it looks like the photographs. For a 5 ft tree in this category, budget fifteen to twenty minutes to get the branches spread and angled properly.
Inspect the pot and the trunk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further.
Who should not buy this?
- Direct outdoor sun. Best suited to indoor use.
- Buyers who want a specific leaf or olive count to compare against another tree. Choose one of our other olive trees that publishes a count.
- Buyers who want a stated trunk material. Choose one of our other olive trees that names the trunk construction.
Is the trunk on this olive tree real wood?
The trunk material isn't specified for this tree. Several other olive trees in our range state a trunk material directly, so if a stated trunk construction matters to your decision, one of those is worth comparing.
What does “extra branches for a fuller look” mean?
It's a description of the tree's fullness rather than a count — no branch, leaf or canopy figure is published for this tree. If a specific density figure is what you're shopping on, look for one of our olive trees that publishes a leaf count at a stated height.
Can this olive tree go outside on a covered porch?
We'd treat this as an indoor tree, since no UV rating is specified — for spots with direct sun, choose a UV-rated model instead. A pot in direct sun will also fade and become brittle faster than the foliage, which is a separate reason to keep this one off an exposed porch or patio.
How do I clean this olive tree?
Wipe off dust with a dry or lightly damp microfibre cloth, leaf by leaf, roughly every couple of months in a normal room. Avoid furniture polish or anything silicone-based — it puts a glossy sheen back onto foliage that's meant to read as matte, and that's the fastest way to make an otherwise good tree look cheap.
