6 Foot Artificial Olive Tree with Weighted Pot
What we like
It brings the airy, silvery look of an olive tree into dim corners where a real one, which needs hours of full sun, would quickly drop its leaves.
Worth knowing
The listing tells you to buy a decorative pot for it but never gives the size of the pot it comes in, so you’ll have to measure on arrival.

Why we picked it
Olive trees have become one of the most wanted indoor plants, and one of the hardest to keep alive. A real olive needs full sun, typically six hours or more a day, and in most homes it slowly drops its leaves by the window. A faux one sidesteps all of that. This 6 foot tree has the loose, open shape that makes olives look so good indoors: a single trunk that splits into a few stems, narrow two-tone leaves and a scattering of dark olives, rather than the dense green ball that gives cheaper fake trees away.
Size is the first thing to plan around. At 72 inches tall, it leaves about 2 feet of space under a standard 8 foot ceiling, so it has room to breathe even after you set it into a taller decorative planter. The listed spread is 27 inches, which means the branches take up roughly 4 square feet once they’re fluffed out. That’s about the footprint of a small armchair, so it fits beside a sofa or in a corner, not in a narrow hallway.
The pot is the part to think about before you order. The tree comes in a plain plastic nursery pot filled with cement, and the listing says outright that this pot isn’t meant to be seen and recommends placing it in a decorative one. That’s honest advice, and the woven basket in the photos shows how much better it looks. But the listing never gives the nursery pot’s size, so you can’t buy the right planter in advance. Measure the pot’s width and height when the tree arrives, then pick a planter an inch or two wider.
The cement fill keeps the weight low and helps the tree stay upright, but the whole thing weighs only 8.4 pounds for a 6 foot height. A big dog brushing past or a cat climbing the branches can still tip it. Setting it into a heavier ceramic planter, or adding stones around the nursery pot, makes it much more stable.
Two wording points are worth knowing. “Silk” in artificial plants usually means polyester fabric leaves, not real silk, and “real touch” usually means a coated finish that feels more lifelike. The listing uses both terms without saying which parts are which. It also suggests patios, but makes no claim about UV resistance, and faux leaves commonly fade in direct sun. A covered porch is fine; full afternoon sun probably isn’t.

The honest take
What we like
- Open, branching shape that looks far more natural than dense faux trees
- Works in dim spots where a real olive tree would struggle
- Cement-filled pot keeps the weight low
- Honest that the pot is plain and recommends a decorative planter
Worth knowing
- No nursery pot size given, so you can’t buy a planter before it arrives
- At 8.4 lb, it can still be tipped by large pets despite the cement
- Takes up about 4 sq ft once the branches are spread
- No UV-resistance claim, so keep it out of strong direct sun outdoors
