Artificial Coconut Palm Trees: Heights from 8 to 18 ft, Real US Prices, and Which Build to Specify

An artificial coconut palm tree costs between $499 USD and $4,569 USD at Eververda, in heights from 5.9 ft to 18 ft. The commercial fiberglass range runs $1,720 USD at 8 ft, $2,025 USD at 9.8 ft, $2,635 USD at 13 ft, $3,043 USD at 15 ft and $4,569 USD at 18 ft. The taller pieces are quoted rather than sold at checkout, because an 18 ft palm moves by freight on a pallet and that cost depends on your address.

Coconut is the palm people picture and the one most often specified wrongly. It is a landscape tree, not a lobby tree. This page covers what each height costs, the three ways these trunks are actually built, and which build belongs in which setting.

What an artificial coconut palm costs by height

Current Eververda prices in US dollars for the United States, checked 21 October 2026. These are the tree, delivered as a trunk with a crown of fronds to fit.

Below that there is a lighter indoor range, 5.9 ft to 9.2 ft, at $499 USD to $1,110 USD, built on a metal or natural wood trunk rather than structural fiberglass. It is the right choice for a restaurant corner or a reception area. It is the wrong choice for a pool deck, and the difference shows up in about one season.

That lighter range is listed as the coconut palm at 5.9 to 9.2 ft, and the structural outdoor build as the coconut palm at 8 to 18 ft on a wood-grain fiberglass trunk.

The price step worth noticing is between 15 ft and 16.5 ft, where the figure jumps from $3,043 USD to $4,060 USD. Everything below that is a tree one crew can stand up. Above it you are into lifting equipment and a proper foundation, and the manufacturing changes with it.

Three ways a coconut trunk is built, and when each is right

Fiberglass over a galvanized steel core. The steel carries the load and the wind. The fiberglass gives the trunk the fibrous, textured surface a coconut palm needs to read correctly. The galvanizing is the detail that separates a ten year tree from a four year one: an untreated steel core rusts from the inside, where nobody can see it until the trunk fails. For any permanent outdoor installation this is the build to ask for by name.

Fiberglass structure with no timber core. Fiberglass takes up no water at all, so nothing inside the trunk can rot, swell, or split through a freeze-thaw cycle. That is the whole reason exterior palms are made this way, and it is why a fiberglass palm survives a wet winter that destroys a cheaper one. It is also light enough to build out to 18 ft without the weight becoming the problem.

Iron framework with plastic and fiberglass over it. Heavier, more expensive, and the one to specify where the public can physically reach the tree. A queue line, a playground, a theme park walkway, a hotel pool deck where children run past it. The extra cost buys resistance to being leaned on, climbed, and knocked by luggage carts, which is a different problem from weather.

The cheapest moulded trunks have none of these. They are fine indoors and they are a false economy outdoors.

Curved trunk or straight

A straight palm in a row looks planted by a contractor. A curved trunk looks like it grew there, because a real coastal palm leans away from the prevailing wind rather than standing upright.

The practical argument is better than the aesthetic one. A curved trunk reaches out over a pool edge, a walkway or a seating area, putting canopy where a vertical trunk puts nothing at all. If the point of the tree is shade or a framed view, the curve is doing work. If the point is a formal avenue, straight is correct.

Eververda lists a curved-trunk coconut palm at 9.8 to 18 ft for exactly this, alongside the straight-trunk builds.

Mixing both in a grove, at three or four different heights, is what stops an installation reading as a product order. Matched heights in a straight line is the single most common mistake in commercial palm work.

Coconut, areca, or date: choosing the species

Coconut has a tall bare trunk with the crown all at the top. It needs height and open space to make sense, and it looks wrong under a nine foot ceiling because the thing you are buying is the trunk. Pool decks, forecourts, resort landscapes, atriums with real volume.

Areca and golden cane are multi-stem and leafy from low down. They fill a corner and screen a sightline. These are the indoor palms, and they work at 4 ft to 7 ft where a coconut would not.

Date palm sits between the two: a thick textured trunk, a denser crown, and a formal look that suits an entrance or a paired arrangement flanking a door.

If you are deciding between them, our guide to artificial palm trees for hotels, resorts and outdoor landscapes covers the full set with prices, and what actually survives outside deals with weather in more detail.

Outdoor: wind is the thing that gets missed

A coconut palm is a lever. The crown is wide, it sits at the very top, and the trunk below it is bare. That puts almost all the wind load at maximum height, which is the worst possible arrangement for a free-standing object.

Fix or ballast the base. On the 15 ft and taller sizes this is not optional in an exposed position, and it is a site decision your installer has to make against local wind loading rather than something a supplier can specify from a catalogue. Get the fixing method and the delivery access agreed before the order goes in, not after a pallet arrives at a gate it cannot get through.

What we will and will not claim about UV

One of these ranges carries UV protection in its specification, and it is the one we would put in full southern sun.

What we will not do is publish an hours-to-fade number, because we do not hold a test report that would support one, and a number invented to close a sale is worse than no number at all. If your site is in Florida, Texas, Arizona or southern California, say so when you request the quote. We will tell you what we actually know about the piece you are looking at, including where our knowledge stops.

Among these, the king coconut palm at 8 to 18 ft carries UV protection in its specification.

Why the tall ones are quoted rather than priced for checkout

An 18 ft palm ships as a long crated trunk on a pallet. Freight on that depends on your zip code, whether there is a loading dock, and whether a truck can reach the install position. Putting a single shipping figure on it would mean overcharging most buyers to cover the worst case.

The price in the table above is the price. Requesting a quote adds the freight to your address and nothing else, and it is usually back the same working day.

Frequently asked questions

How much is an artificial coconut palm tree?

$499 USD to $4,569 USD depending on height and build. The commercial outdoor range starts at $1,720 USD for 8 ft.

How tall do they go?

18 ft. Above that, look at trees over 15 ft, where other species reach higher.

Can an artificial coconut palm stay outside all year?

The fiberglass and galvanized steel builds are listed for permanent outdoor installation. The light indoor range is not. Fiberglass absorbs no water, so freeze-thaw does not split the trunk the way it splits cheaper materials.

Does it arrive assembled?

The trunk arrives as one piece and the fronds fit into the crown on site. On the taller sizes that is a two person job at minimum.

Does it come with a planter?

These are landscape trees, so most are supplied as a trunk to be fixed or ballasted rather than potted. If you need it potted, ask in the quote and we will tell you what fits.

What is the difference between a coconut palm and an areca palm?

Coconut has one tall bare trunk with the crown at the top and needs height to work. Areca is multi-stem and leafy from the base, and is the better indoor palm.

Do you deliver to the United States?

Yes. Every price on this page is US dollars for delivery in the United States.
