Where to Buy Artificial Plants and Trees in Montreal

Montreal buyers have a genuine local specialist most Canadian cities don't: Véronneau, a Quebec company with a showroom in Laval, a short drive from downtown. Add IKEA's Cavendish Boulevard store, the big-box chains, and Canadian online sellers who ship to Quebec in CAD, and the routes to a good artificial tree in Montreal are wider than they first look. Here is what each one actually gets you, plus the two things that matter more in Montreal than almost anywhere else in the country: apartment scale and winter light. Retailer details below were checked 29 August 2026.

Where can you see artificial trees in person near Montreal?

Décors Véronneau is a Quebec company, founded more than 38 years ago, with its store and head office at 2965 Boulevard Le Corbusier in Laval, open Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 6 pm and weekends 9:30 am to 5 pm, checked 29 August 2026. Laval sits just north of the island of Montreal, close enough for a Saturday trip from most of the city. It is the only physical Véronneau location - the company sells the rest of its range online - so this is the one spot in the region where you can walk up to a full-size faux tree before buying.

Pricing there is straightforward CAD. Its 70-inch artificial olive tree is $299.99 CAD, and its handmade line - built by Quebec artisans on natural wood trunks in 5 to 9 ft heights plus custom sizing - runs $299.99 to $1,149.99 CAD, both checked 29 August 2026. That handmade range is worth knowing about on its own merits: a natural-wood-trunk tree made in the province, sized to order, is not something every Canadian city has access to locally.

IKEA Montreal, at 9191 Boulevard Cavendish, is the other in-person stop. Its FEJKA artificial olive tree stands 150 cm tall and sells for $69.99 CAD, confirmed on ikea.com/ca and checked 29 August 2026 - the cheapest way to walk out of a Montreal store with a full-size tree the same afternoon. It is a simple build: one foliage tone, no stated trunk material and no counted-leaf specification, which tracks with the price.

What do big-box stores in Montreal actually carry?

Home Depot Canada's online catalogue for olive trees and plants rendered a checkable range when we looked on 29 August 2026: a CAPHaus 7 ft olive tree at $131.00, a Nearly Natural 6 ft olive at $234.00, a Nearly Natural 7.5 ft olive in a decorative planter at $339.00, and a Tangerine Mirror Company 98-inch olive at $489.00, among roughly two dozen listed olive-tree products spanning about $80 to $495 CAD. Home Depot operates several stores across greater Montreal, so these are the kind of prices worth screenshotting before a store visit.

Canadian Tire and Costco.ca both list artificial olive trees for Quebec delivery as well, but neither gave us a reliable number on the same check: Canadian Tire's product pages load pricing through scripts our tools could not execute, and the Costco.ca olive tree listing we tried showed as unavailable that day. That is not proof the trees aren't on shelves or in the warehouse near you - it means the safer move is to confirm price and stock in person or signed into your account rather than trust a cached figure.

Which online retailers ship artificial plants and trees to Quebec?

Eververda ships across Canada, Quebec included, in plain CAD with no currency toggle, and every listing publishes its specifications - height, trunk material, foliage counts - so you can compare builds the way you would on a showroom floor. Two examples: a 5.25 to 7 ft olive on a natural wood trunk is $249 to $419 CAD, and a 4 to 7 ft fiddle leaf fig with a weighted base is $219 to $399 CAD. Orders above $3,000 - the range a Montreal restaurant fit-out or lobby project would land in - go through a quote process.

Véronneau ships its online catalogue across Quebec and the rest of Canada too, at the same CAD prices listed at its Laval store. Silk Plants Canada, based in Kelowna, BC, also ships within Canada, with custom trees from 3 to 12 ft, but it is the longest haul of the three to a Montreal address, and its site runs a CAD/USD currency switcher - our own checks have caught product pages showing USD while the homepage displayed CAD, so confirm the currency code at checkout before comparing one of its prices against a CAD listing.

How does apartment scale in Montreal change what tree to buy?

A large share of Montreal's housing stock is the classic plex: duplexes and triplexes with narrow interior staircases, and plenty of Plateau, Mile End and downtown condos with lower ceilings and smaller footprints than a suburban house. Two things follow. First, measure the shipping box against the actual route in - the staircase turn, the apartment door, the elevator if there is one - before ordering an 8 ft tree, not after it arrives. Second, scale the tree to the room rather than to what looks impressive in a product photo; our sizing guide covers the ceiling-height ratios that keep a tree from crowding a smaller space.

For a condo or apartment where floor space is the constraint, a narrower build reads better than a wide, densely branched one. Our 4 to 6 ft olive with stainless-steel branches is $199 to $329 CAD and keeps a smaller footprint, and a single 4 to 6 ft areca palm with leaf counts by height, $289 to $419 CAD, fills a corner without the wide canopy a fiddle leaf fig needs.

Does an artificial plant belong on a Montreal balcony through the winter?

Montreal's winters cut daylight sharply, not just temperature. Environment Canada's 1981-2010 Climate Normals put average December sunshine at 84 hours - about 31 percent of possible daylight, spread across roughly 21 days that see any measurable sun at all, as compiled by Current Results and checked 29 August 2026. That is a genuine reason artificial plants do real work in Montreal interiors from November through March: a live tropical struggles in a north-facing Plateau apartment through that stretch, and an artificial one does not notice the difference.

Balconies are a separate question, and the honest answer is narrower than the indoor one. Only a product the manufacturer states is UV-resistant is worth putting somewhere that gets direct sun, and UV resistance is not the same claim as cold-weather durability - a Montreal balcony cycles through freeze and thaw all winter, which is a different stress entirely. Our 5 to 6 ft palm with UV-resistant fronds, $219 to $289 CAD, is stated UV-resistant and suits a bright, sheltered balcony; for what actually degrades a piece left outside through a Quebec winter, our winter-outdoors guide covers the freeze-thaw mechanics in full rather than repeating them here.

Frequently asked questions

Is there a store near Montreal where I can see artificial trees before buying?

Yes. Décors Véronneau has a physical showroom and head office at 2965 Boulevard Le Corbusier in Laval, just north of the island of Montreal, open Monday to Friday 9:30 am to 6 pm and weekends 9:30 am to 5 pm, checked 29 August 2026. IKEA Montreal, on Boulevard Cavendish, also stocks a simple FEJKA olive tree on the floor at $69.99 CAD.

Does Eververda ship artificial plants and trees to Montreal?

Yes. Eververda ships across Canada, Quebec and Montreal included, with plain CAD pricing, no currency toggle, and published specifications - height, trunk material, foliage counts - on every listing. Orders above $3,000 go through a quote process, which suits a restaurant fit-out or lobby project rather than a single tree for an apartment.

Is a $69.99 IKEA tree the same quality as a $299.99 Véronneau tree?

No, and the price signals why. IKEA's FEJKA olive lists no trunk material and no foliage count, which is typical of a mass-market build at that price. Véronneau's olives and Eververda's, at roughly $250 to $420 CAD, publish more build detail - natural wood trunks, counted foliage - which is what separates a tree meant to be looked at closely from one meant to fill a corner cheaply.

Can I leave an artificial plant on my Montreal balcony all winter?

Only if the manufacturer states it is UV-resistant, and even then, UV resistance is not the same claim as cold-weather durability. A Montreal balcony goes through repeated freeze-thaw cycles all winter, which is a separate stress from sun exposure. Check both before leaving anything outside for the season; our winter-outdoors guide covers what actually degrades a piece left out through a Quebec winter.

How much does a good artificial olive tree cost delivered in Montreal?

Specialist builds cluster in the low hundreds. Véronneau's olives start at $299.99 CAD locally in Laval, our 5.25 to 7 ft olive on a natural wood trunk is $249 to $419 CAD shipped, and Home Depot Canada's range runs roughly $80 to $495 CAD across builds. Below that sits IKEA's $69.99 FEJKA - a simpler tree for a different job.

What should I check before ordering a large tree to a Montreal apartment?

The shipping box, not the assembled height. A boxed 6 to 8 ft tree ships as a long parcel, and in a Plateau or Mile End plex that means checking the box length against the interior staircase turns and your own door before it arrives, not after. Larger commercial-scale pieces often ship freight with curbside delivery instead of a courier to your door; our Canada-wide buying guide covers the freight mechanics in more detail.

Once the route is settled, the species guides take over: the olive guide, the fiddle leaf fig guide and the palm guide each cover what to check before you commit. Buyers elsewhere in the country may also want our Toronto buying guide for comparison, or our retailer price survey, which lists verified prices across ten more Canadian sellers.
