Architectural Scale: Request a Quote

Architectural scale means the top of the height range: specimens from 8 ft up past 15 ft, sourced from manufacturers rather than held in stock. This page collects the willow, banyan, cherry blossom, olive, palm, pine and cypress trees listed for hotel atriums, mall concourses, restaurant dining rooms and event installs, in fiberglass-trunk and real-wood-trunk finishes, some with integrated LED lighting. Because height, finish, planter and freight vary so much at this scale, we quote every piece individually rather than list it at a fixed price.

What counts as architectural scale?

Anything at the top of the height range, generally 8 to 10 ft and up, plus any non-standard height, canopy width or trunk finish that the manufacturer lists as possible, confirmed with your quote. A 15 ft-plus tree is the clearest example, but a 4 m olive with a specific planter, or a natural-bark cherry blossom at a height the manufacturer lists as possible for a particular ceiling, also falls here. If a product's variant list already covers the height and finish you need, buy it directly. This quote process is for pieces that don't fit a standard listing.

How does the quote process work?

Share the dimensions you're working with (ceiling height, doorway or freight-elevator clearance, and the footprint the piece needs to clear) along with your site access and timeline. We come back with pricing for the piece and separately for freight, since large-format trees ship on pallets or in crates and the cost depends heavily on delivery address and access. A single lobby specimen and a multi-piece hotel order both go through the same quote process.

Which species and trunk options are available?

The range spans olive, banyan and ficus, cherry blossom and sakura, willow, date and Washingtonia palm, pine and cypress, birch, maple, nandina, osmanthus and metasequoia, plus seasonal pieces like large-format Christmas trees. Trunk finish is a real choice at this scale: fiberglass trunks hold their shape outdoors and in high-traffic spaces, while real-wood-trunk pieces (available on select olive, banyan and willow specimens) read as more convincing up close where guests can touch or stand beside the trunk. Some olive and Christmas trees in this range are available with integrated LED lighting for retail and hospitality settings.

Indoor, outdoor, or somewhere in between?

Most pieces here are listed for indoor placement or a covered outdoor space (a porte-cochère, covered patio or atrium roof) rather than fully exposed weather. A smaller number, mainly palms and cypress-family trees, are listed for open outdoor use. Tell us the site conditions when you request pricing, including whether the location is covered, so the quote reflects a specimen listed for that exposure rather than one that only looks the part.

Frequently asked questions

Why isn't there a price shown on these pieces?

Architectural-scale trees vary too much in height, trunk finish, planter and freight distance to price as a single SKU. Two 12 ft olive trees can differ in cost once one needs a natural-bark trunk and cross-country freight and the other doesn't. We price each request individually once we know the dimensions, finish and delivery address, then confirm before you commit to anything.

Can I get a smaller version of one of these trees without a quote?

Often. Many species shown here (olive, cherry blossom, banyan, palm and pine among them) are also listed at standard heights and fixed prices elsewhere on the site, sold at checkout in the US; delivery in Canada is quoted individually. Check Artificial Trees 8 to 10 ft or 10 to 15 ft for the closest listed heights before requesting a quote.

Do these ship fully assembled?

Large-format trees typically ship with the trunk and main branch sections attached and the canopy foliage panels packed separately for final assembly on site, which keeps crate dimensions and freight cost down. We confirm exact packaging and what on-site assembly involves as part of the quote, since it varies by species and height.

Will these hold up in a hotel lobby or retail concourse with heavy foot traffic?

The species listed at this scale (fiberglass-trunk willow, banyan, olive and palm in particular) are intended for public spaces rather than a residential corner. That said, placement still matters: keep canopies clear of doorway swing and high-contact walkways, and ask about your specific piece's foliage density if the location sees unusually heavy traffic.

What information should I have ready before requesting a quote?

Ceiling height and any width constraint at the install location, doorway or freight-elevator dimensions along the delivery route, whether the space is indoor or covered outdoor, and your target delivery date. If you already know a preferred species or trunk finish, include that too: otherwise we can recommend one once we know the setting.
