Artificial Olive Tree — 5.25 to 7 ft, Natural Wood Trunk

A faux olive tree built around a natural wood trunk, available in three heights from 5.25 ft to 7 ft. An olive tree reads as Mediterranean and formal without trying, which is why it shows up so often in living rooms and entryways that want a settled, grown-in look rather than a jungly one.

This tree offers three heights between 5.25 ft and 7 ft — a narrower spread than some of our other olive trees, which suits a buyer who already knows roughly what scale they need and does not want to choose from six options. The floor-standing design means it can be placed straight into a corner or entryway without a separate planter.

The trunk is the centrepiece of the construction: natural wood, which gives the tree the irregular, weathered character that makes an olive convincing at close range.

Which height should I buy for my room?

Height	Ceiling it suits	What it does in the room
5.25 ft	8 ft	The entry point into this range; a corner or side-table companion.
6 ft	8–9 ft	Reads as a proper floor tree in a standard living room.
7 ft	9 ft and over	Statement scale; needs real air above the canopy to avoid looking crammed.

Choose by scale and ceiling height: the tree should sit comfortably in its corner with clear air above the canopy.

Should I buy an artificial olive tree or a real one?

	This tree	Live olive tree indoors in Canada
Light required	None	Six to eight hours of direct sun — almost no Canadian interior supplies it
Common failure mode	None	Leaf drop over a single winter is the typical outcome indoors
Trunk	Natural wood	Real wood, and it thickens and silvers with age
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

Olive is the clearest case in our range for buying artificial. It is a full-sun Mediterranean species, and a Canadian interior does not supply that light for half the year regardless of how good the window is.

What arrives in the box, and what do I have to do to it?

Every tree on this site ships compressed. The branches are folded in against the trunk so the box survives transit, and it will come out of that box looking flatter and thinner than the photographs. Opening it out by hand is not an optional finishing touch — it is the difference between a tree that reads as real and one that reads as a prop. Work from the lowest branches upward, pull each stem away from its neighbour, and give the leaves individual angles rather than a uniform fan.

Olive leaves are small and the branches are fine, which makes an olive tree slower to fluff well than a broad-leaf tree of the same height — spread only the outer branches and the tree looks full from the front and hollow from the side. Work the inner branches first. On delivery, inspect the pot and the trunk before you unpack fully, and photograph anything that looks damaged.

Who should not buy this?

• Anyone with a sunny outdoor spot in mind. This is an indoor tree; for balconies, porches or anywhere with direct sun, choose a UV-rated model instead.
• Anyone shopping for a specific published leaf or fruit count. Other olive trees in our range publish exact counts; this one is chosen on scale and trunk character.
• Buyers with a genuinely Mediterranean full-sun spot to fill. If you have that spot, a live olive rewards it in a way no artificial tree can; buy this one for the rooms that don't have it.

Common questions

Is the trunk really natural wood on this olive tree?

Yes — the trunk is natural wood, not a moulded plastic imitation. That is what gives each tree its individual grain and character, and it is the detail visitors tend to check first on an olive tree.

Can I put this olive tree outside?

Keep this one indoors. Its floor-standing design is made to be placed anywhere in the home — living room, entryway, office. Several other olive trees in our range are built for covered-outdoor or full outdoor placement; if that is the spot you are furnishing, choose one of those instead.

What size olive tree fits a standard living room?

The 6 ft is the middle option here and the one most buyers should default to under an 8 to 9 ft ceiling. The 5.25 ft reads more as a corner filler than a statement piece, and the 7 ft wants real air above the canopy — roughly two feet clear to the ceiling — or it reads as crammed rather than impressive. Measure the corner as well as the ceiling before you commit.

How do I keep it looking good?

An occasional pass with a damp cloth is all the maintenance this tree asks for. Reshape any branches that drift out of place while you dust, and it will hold its just-styled look year round.
