Buy A Faux Olive Tree For An Artful Mediterranean Vibe!

Olive oil, a staple in kitchens everywhere. Where does it come free – the olive tree, of course!

There are hundreds of types of olive trees in the world, some as high as 50 feet tall! The type of artificial olive trees we are talking about in this article are much, much smaller though. Homeowners generally do not think of an olive tree when they think of a houseplant. An olive tree’s look is admittedly a little different. It’s a little darker, more sparse than the average houseplant. Used correctly though, it can pull off a real cool look sure to be appreciated by guests.

Does An Artificial Olive Tree Look Real?

An artificial olive tree boasts a premium design. It uses high-quality materials and is crafted by hand.

A lot of the work done on faux olive trees is meant to mimic their natural characteristics. With this in mind, older olive trees tend to have twisted trunks. The leaves are a tinted green with a silver underside. The fruit first appears green and then, as it ripens, it becomes the classic shade of purple-black that everyone is used to with olives. These are all characteristics that are used to formulate the design of an olive tree.

There are cheap-looking olive trees that look remarkably fake. When you buy premium fake plants, you get something that looks almost identical to the real thing. That said, olive trees generally cannot be grown in much of Europe as they require a long, hot growing season. Technically speaking, for this reason, an olive tree will forever look a little foreign in most households.
