Artificial trees

Yes and no... it varies from tree to tree. The best place to look is on each product page. Next to each faux’s name, there’ll be an icon that tells you either way.

Those that can are specifically designed to be used outdoors. They’re more durable and the foliage has additional ingredients to help it stay green even when under the sun's harsh UV rays.

Faux trees are crafted using a range of materials - and they vary from tree to tree. We tend to choose the ones that strike the best balance between realism and durability, which normally means polyethylene foliage, internal wires and, the cherry on the top; rustic natural wood stems. 😍

We think so, and so do literally thousands of our customers. We spend a long time checking samples, comparing every little detail against their natural siblings and tweaking the features and materials to achieve the most realistic fauxs possible.

If you need further reassurance, just take a look at the customer reviews and images on each product page.

Most of our faux trees will need a little sprucing up when they arrive. They’ll usually arrive looking a little bunched together from being packed in transit, but it only takes a few moments until they’re looking just like the real thing!

To arrange your artificial tree, start bending out the stems and leaves until you’re happy with the look, you can be pretty firm with them. Straighten out the leaves and enjoy your new fuss-free faux tree! For more info, read our guide to arranging artificial plants.

Artificial trees are pretty much zero maintenance. They’re not needy like their natural siblings and once in your home or garden, can be largely left to take care of themselves.

For indoor trees, the only thing we recommend is an occasional dust. For outdoor trees, dust isn’t much of an issue because of the wind. We do however recommend staining the base of wood stemmed trees annually to maximise the lifespan.

These trees, along with most in our range, arrive in a small black starter pot. Help your new artificial tree fit into its new home by pairing it with a suitable plant pot (we'll offer up some perfect options when you add it to your basket).

This step will also add weight and stability. Potting your tree is quick, easy, and only ever needs to be done once.

1. Pick a suitable pot. Choose one with drainage if the plant is going outside.

2. Prefill the pot so that the starter pot sits just inside the top of the plant pot.

3. Pop the tree into the pot.

4. Fill around the starter pot with earth, sand, or decorative stones.
