Product Description
A 5 ft faux olive tree with a natural wood trunk and lifelike fruit, offered at a single scaled height and complete with a planter, ready to place as soon as it's unpacked and shaped.
Olive reads as Mediterranean and formal without much effort on the room's part, which is why it turns up so often in entryways and living rooms after a settled, grown-in look rather than a jungly one. This tree comes in one height, 5 ft, so there's no ladder of sizes to weigh against each other — it suits a buyer who already knows the scale they need for the space.
The trunk is genuine natural wood rather than a molded imitation, giving it real grain and weight under the foliage. It ships with a planter and lifelike fruit throughout the branches.

Faux olive vs. a live one indoors
| This tree | Live olive tree indoors in Canada | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Six to eight hours of direct sun a Canadian window rarely delivers |
| Common failure mode | None | Leaf drop over a single dry winter indoors |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Frequently replaced after one or two failed winters |
| Maintenance | A damp cloth occasionally | Watering, feeding, rotation toward the light, pest checks |
The case for a live olive is simple: nothing replaces the real thing if that matters to you. A faux tree trades that for a fixed cost, no upkeep, and a look that holds through any Canadian winter.
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 to survive transit, so it will look flatter and thinner straight out of the box than in photographs. Opening it out by hand is worth the time: work from the lowest branches upward and give the outer leaves individual angles rather than a uniform fan. At a single 5 ft height, budget around fifteen minutes to get the shape right.
Inspect the pot and the trunk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further — shipping is where a piece like this is most likely to take a knock, whether a cracked base, a bent trunk, or a crushed pot.
Is this olive tree right for your space?
- Entryways and living rooms wanting a formal, Mediterranean look at a fixed 5 ft height.
- Indoor placement. For spots with direct sun, choose a UV-rated model instead.
- Buyers who want a genuine wood trunk rather than a molded finish.
Common questions
Why does the trunk look and feel so realistic?
It's built with an actual natural wood trunk rather than molded plastic, so the grain, weight, and texture under the foliage are the real material's, not a printed or moulded finish.
Can this tree go outside?
It's designed for indoor settings — homes, offices, living rooms. Keep it out of prolonged direct sun, and don't plan on moving it to a patio or balcony for the summer.
How do I keep it looking its best?
Wipe the leaves occasionally with a damp cloth to keep dust off. There's no watering, feeding, or light rotation required.
