I was on the hunt for the perfect faux tree for our baby’s nursery that we are in the process of redecorating. I did a ton of research because I wanted something that looked very life like and was still within our budget. Of course, with Brad working at a plant nursery, he suggested going the REAL tree route but with carpet and a new baby, I don’t think I am up for keeping a real one alive or wanting to deal with the potential mess of little hands digging in dirt on the new carpet. The faux tree we finally decided on we found on Amazon and is an olive tree and I’m extremely impressed with the quality and life-like features of it. For this particular tree, there are 3 sizes available. We ordered the one that is 5.24′ in height.
It was so easy to put together, just two pieces that slide into each other and then I fluffed the leaves and branches to my liking. The pot we did get from the nursery so I do not have a link for that.
When adding a faux tree to a pot, there are a few different ways you can cover up the base of the tree to make it look even more lifelike. Here’s how I did it:
For this tree, I added an empty cardboard box underneath the base of the tree to give it some height. Next, I added some waded up paper around the base to stabilize the base of the tree from tipping over. I then cut a piece of cardboard to the diameter of the opening of my pot and cut a slit for the tree trunk to slide in through it. Once I got the cardboard in place, I covered up the cardboard with Spanish moss and was finished! Total, this took me less than 10 minutes to complete and made this tree looks so much more finished and real. Below are the links for everything used in the nursery so far!
