Artificial olive or bonsai: which suits your space?

Olive is lighter and calmer, and suits living rooms and open corners. Bonsai has a stronger shape, and suits entrances and offices, with small sizes for tables.

Artificial olive or bonsai: which suits your space?

How do they look different?

An artificial olive has narrow silver-green leaves and a light or rounded crown. A bonsai has clear tiers of foliage and a prominent trunk, so it draws more attention.

Where does an olive tree work?

In a living room, beside a sofa, in a corner with a window, or in a wide entrance. We currently have sizes from 150 to 300 cm, from 800 AED.

Where does a bonsai work?

In an entrance, in an office, or as the main piece in a room. Small sizes suit a table or console. We currently have sizes from 60 to 195 cm, from 650 AED.

Which should I choose if I am undecided?

For a calm space, choose olive. For a piece that holds attention at first glance, choose bonsai.

Do they need care?

Both are artificial, so they need no watering and no sunlight. They only need light dusting from time to time, as explained in our artificial tree care guide.
