Nearly Natural Olive Trees: Every US Price, Checked 13 October 2026

Nearly Natural lists 180 faux olive trees, from $27.99 to $1,007.99. We read every one of them on 13 October 2026, and three things matter more than any price on that list. Shipping is never free, at any order value. On most listings the price you see is about 25 percent above what you would actually pay today. And the UV rating, the spec that decides whether a tree survives a porch, is missing from the page on hundreds of their products while still sitting in the web address. We sell artificial trees ourselves, so we have an interest here, and our own products are flagged in the first person throughout.

Shipping is never free, and it scales with your order

Most US retailers have a free-shipping threshold. Nearly Natural has none at any order value. Shipping is a tier that climbs with the size of your order, roughly ten percent of it, read 13 October 2026:

That schedule sits close to ten percent of order value up to $1,000. So a $404.99 olive tree is $454.98 before tax, and their 13 ft giant olive at $1,007.99 carries $149.99, reaching $1,157.98. Their policy also says plainly that "Shipping costs are non-refundable", so if you return the tree you are out the $49.99.

One practical gap worth knowing before you order something large: there is no oversized, freight, liftgate or white-glove option anywhere. A 13 ft tree ships on the same standard service as a tabletop fern, and every item travels as its own parcel with its own tracking number.

The price on the page is usually not the price

Nearly Natural runs four discount systems at once, and they do not stack. Read 13 October 2026:

• A struck-through markdown on 1,258 of 9,751 listings, about 13 percent, reaching 74 percent off on some olive trees.
• A sitewide code, advertised as "Save 25% Sitewide with code SANTA (exclusions apply)".
• A flash sale, "Up to 50% OFF select fall favorites, no code needed", on 292 products.
• 30 percent off a first order for a newsletter signup.

The catch is in their own help centre, which says codes are "exclusive to our full-priced items". So the sitewide code works on the roughly 8,500 listings showing one price, and does not work on the 1,258 already marked down. In practice, for about 87 percent of the catalogue the printed price is around 25 percent above what you would pay today, and for the marked-down 13 percent the printed price is the real one.

That is worth saying carefully in their favour: this is not a permanent fake sale. Most of the catalogue shows a single honest price and the discount comes from a code. But it does mean comparing their sticker price against anyone else's is comparing the wrong number.

The UV rating is in the URL and not on the page

This is the one we would want fixed if it were ours.

UV resistance is the single spec that decides whether a tree can go on a covered porch or in a west-facing window. On 13 October 2026, 691 Nearly Natural products carried a UV Resistant tag in their catalogue data, and 186 of them, about 27 percent, never say "UV" anywhere a shopper can read it. A further 192 products have uv-resistant in their own web address while the visible title has dropped it.

We confirmed it on individual products. On two olive trees, the browser tab title reads "... UV Resistant (Indoor/Outdoor)" while the heading on the page itself drops the phrase, and a scan of one product's entire rendered text returns no occurrence of "UV" at all. The information exists, it is correct, and it is one click from being visible. It just is not.

If you are buying for a porch, do not assume a tree is unrated because the page does not say so. Check the web address, or ask them.

Their olive trees, by the numbers

Read 13 October 2026, across their whole olive range rather than the first page of results.

Two things follow from that table. More than half the olive trees on the site cannot be bought. And of the ones that can, only eight are rated for outdoor use, so the effective outdoor range is far smaller than the catalogue suggests.

Their collection page is candid about neither. It renders "206 products", then rewrites its own address to filter by availability and shows 84. Across the whole site, 9,751 products are published and 3,646 are in stock, which is 37 percent.

Reviews: deep in one place, absent in most

Review text is the strongest thing Nearly Natural has, and we say that as someone with none. Their reviews are verified-buyer, carry photos and owner replies, and are published in a format search engines and AI assistants can read directly. That is a real advantage and we are not going to pretend otherwise.

It is also narrower than it looks. Across their 81 in-stock olive trees on 13 October 2026:

• 40 have no reviews at all.
• 525 reviews exist in total, and 312 of them, 59 percent, sit on a single listing, an 82 inch olive tree.
• Among trees that have any reviews, the median is three.
• Of the 20 in-stock olive trees priced over $250, 14 have zero reviews.
• All eight outdoor-rated olive trees have three reviews or fewer.

So if the reviewed 82 inch tree is the one you want, you are well informed. If you want a large tree or an outdoor-rated one, you are mostly buying without them, the same as anywhere else.

Returns

Thirty days, and this part is good: they pay return shipping. Their help centre says, verbatim, "In this rare case, we pay to have it shipped back to us." There is no restocking fee.

Two limits. The shipping you paid to receive it is not refunded, so on that $404.99 tree you lose the $49.99. And their 703 clearance products are final sale.

One oddity, read 13 October 2026: their seasonal returns clause is still dated to December 2025, so as written this season's holiday deadline has already passed. It is almost certainly an un-updated page rather than a real policy, but it is what the page says.

Where Nearly Natural is the better buy

Three situations, put plainly.

• You want the widest possible choice. 1,854 artificial trees in stock against our 124 products. It is not close.
• You want to spend under $70. Their olive range opens at $27.99. Ours opens at $72.99 across all species and $159.99 on olives.
• You want to read reviews before buying. On their well-reviewed listings you can. On ours you cannot, because we have no review programme yet.

Where we differ

Our own figures, read from our US storefront on 13 October 2026: 271 buyable options across 124 products, from $72.99 to $1,430.99, with free US shipping and delivery in 2 to 10 business days. Our olive trees are 12 products from $159.99 to $743.99.

The honest summary is that they win on range and on reviews, and we win on whether the number you see is the number you pay. Their $155.99 median olive tree falls in the $150.01 to $200 band, so it is $175.98 delivered. Ours arrives at the listed price.

We would rather you could check that than take our word for it, which is why we publish a first-party accuracy record showing when the catalogue was last audited and what was corrected. You can compare our olive trees against the figures above directly.

What we could not check

• Price history. We read one day, so we cannot say whether the markdowns are long-running or genuinely periodic. We have deliberately not called it a permanent sale, because 87 percent of the catalogue shows a single price.
• Which specific products the sitewide code excludes, since that needs a checkout and we did not start one.
• Whether the shipping charged at checkout matches the published table.
• Whether out-of-stock listings are discontinued or restocking.
• Why 115 of their 1,854 trees carry no height value and so cannot be reached by their own height filter, even though the height is printed in the title.
• Anything behind their wholesale forms, which ask for a name, email, phone and comment and publish no minimums, tiers or lead times.
• Review authenticity. We counted reviews; we did not audit them.

Frequently asked questions

Does Nearly Natural offer free shipping?

No, at any order value. Shipping is tiered with the size of the order, from $9.99 under $100 to a $229.99 cap above $2,000, roughly ten percent. Their policy states that shipping costs are non-refundable.

How much is a Nearly Natural olive tree?

Between $27.99 and $1,007.99 across 180 listings, with a median in-stock price of $155.99, read 13 October 2026. Only 81 of the 180 were actually in stock.

Is the discount code worth using?

Yes, where it applies. The sitewide code works on full-priced items only, which is about 87 percent of the catalogue, so on most listings the printed price is roughly 25 percent above what you would pay. It does not stack with an already marked-down price.

Are Nearly Natural trees UV resistant?

Often yes, but the page may not say so. On 13 October 2026, 691 products carried a UV Resistant tag and 186 of them never showed "UV" in a visible title or description, while 192 kept it in the web address after dropping it from the title. Check the address or ask before assuming a tree is unrated.

Can you return a Nearly Natural tree?

Within 30 days, and they pay the return shipping with no restocking fee. The outbound shipping you paid is not refunded, and clearance items are final sale.

Why are so many of their olive trees out of stock?

We do not know whether those listings are discontinued or awaiting restock, and we have not assumed either. What we can say is that 99 of 180 olive trees were unavailable on 13 October 2026, and that the collection page shows a higher count before quietly filtering to what is in stock.
