Product Description
Short answer: an 83 in (about 6.9 ft) multi-stem faux palm with 32 real touch leaves and an 8 in black pot the tree is cemented into for stability.
At 83 in, this is close to the tallest palm we carry, and the multi-stemmed base is a genuine point in its favour: a clumping, multi-trunk palm reads more convincingly as artificial than a single moulded trunk does, because a smooth plastic single trunk is one of the most obvious tells in this entire category. Spreading the same canopy across several slender stems hides that tell far better.
The tree carries 32 real touch green leaves and an 8 in black pot, with the tree cemented directly into it for stability — a genuine anti-tip measure. The stated footprint, 49.25 in by 49.25 in, tells you this is a wide tree as well as a tall one; budget floor space accordingly, not just ceiling height.
This is one of the more considered purchases in our range — a genuine investment piece for a home entrance or a commercial space that wants real height and presence with no watering or lighting to manage.

Does this palm beat a real one?
| This tree | Live multi-stem indoor palm | |
|---|---|---|
| Light required | None | Bright indirect light most of the day |
| Common failure mode | None — no watering or light needed indoors | Spider mites and browning frond tips through a dry Canadian winter, worse on a large specimen |
| Cost, year five | Nothing further | Often replaced once at this scale, which is an expensive loss |
| Seeing it before you buy | Photos and published specifications | You can see the exact plant, its fullness and its trunk in person |
| Stability | Cemented into an 8 in pot | A specimen this size needs a genuinely heavy pot or it tips |
The honest case for the live plant is that a specimen this size is a serious purchase either way, and a real one lets you judge fullness, trunk character and health with your own eyes before you commit to it.
What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?
Every palm on this site ships compressed, and at 83 in this one is one of the larger pieces in our catalogue — expect a heavy box, and expect the canopy to look considerably flatter out of the box than in the photographs until the fronds are opened out by hand. Separating leaflets along each frond's spine one at a time takes longer than shaping a broadleaf tree, and at this size, budget real time for it rather than a quick fluff.
Given the cemented 8 in pot and an overall height near 7 ft, this is a two-person lift out of the box for most households. Inspect the pot and the trunk before you accept delivery, and photograph anything damaged before you unpack further; given the scale of this piece, that inspection matters more than on almost anything else we sell.
Who should not buy this?
- Direct outdoor sun. This is an indoor tree; for exposed outdoor spots, choose a UV-rated model instead.
- Small rooms. The 49.25 in by 49.25 in footprint makes this a wide tree as well as a tall one; measure the floor space, not just the ceiling.
- Anyone who wants a quick, no-effort unboxing. The fronds need to be separated and shaped by hand at this size, and it takes real time — budget for it rather than a five-minute fluff.
Common questions
How much floor space does this palm need?
Plan for a footprint of 49.25 in by 49.25 in at the base, on top of an 83 in (about 6.9 ft) overall height. This palm is wide as well as tall, so measure your floor space and not only your ceiling clearance before ordering.
How tall is this palm exactly?
83 in, about 6.9 ft. The footprint is 49.25 in by 49.25 in, which means it's wide as well as tall; measure your floor space and not only your ceiling height before ordering.
What does "real touch" mean for the leaves?
Real touch generally describes leaves made from a softer material designed to mimic the texture and slight give of a genuine leaf, rather than the harder, glossier feel of basic PE or PVC foliage. This tree carries 32 such leaves across its canopy.
Is the trunk on this palm actually multi-stemmed?
Yes — this is a multi-stemmed, potted floor plant. A clumping, multi-trunk palm generally reads more convincingly as artificial than a single moulded trunk does — a lone smooth plastic trunk is one of the more obvious tells in this category, and multiple slender stems help hide it.
Can two people carry this palm, or does it need special handling?
Between an 83 in height, a cemented 8 in pot for stability, and a 49.25 in by 49.25 in footprint, this is not a one-person, one-handed carry for most households — plan on two people to get it out of the box and into position without straining the trunk or tipping the pot. Once placed, the cemented base keeps it upright without further support.
