A dark corner in a rented room
You want a 150–180 cm indoor olive and time to fluff it. The Alupssuc 6 ft olive is about £43.22, with 4.6 from 1,002 ratings. UK reviews say the included pot is too small until the tree sits in a wider planter.
Artificial tree comparison 2026
The best artificial trees, compared.
Top pick: Alupssuc 6 ft olive tree Best value: Alupssuc 5 ft olive tree – About £42.49 and 4.6 from 847 ratings, rank 3, with the blue-leaf outdoor report kept in the score. Updated October 2026.
An artificial tree is a decorative faux tree with a trunk and a canopy. You put it in a corner, a hallway, an office or a doorway, and you do not water it. On these twelve amazon.co.uk listings the common choice is an olive or an areca-style palm around 150–210 cm. The other shapes are a 90 cm ficus and two pairs of 70 cm topiaries. The centimetre height has to match the title. The pot has to be included, and stable or meant for a basket. The branches need to be wired if you will fluff them. A title that says indoor and outdoor is not a UV test. UK reviews of the olive and the 5 ft olive describe blue or blue-green leaves after time outside. Height, look, pot, wire and UV are set out in the [artificial tree buying guide](/hub/trees-and-palms/artificial-tree/sub/artificial-tree-buying-guide). It is not a living plant, and it is not one product. The olives are the at 210 cm, the 6 ft and 5 ft, the at 180 cm and the at 180 cm.

The best artificial trees in detail
Our view
The Alupssuc 6 ft olive is the top pick in this set for a tall indoor corner. The listing price is about £43.22, with 4.6 from 1,002 ratings and rank 5 in Decorative Artificial Trees, and the written reviews saved with it are United Kingdom reviews. They repeat a full canopy after you fluff the branches, and they also say the included pot is too small and the tree falls until it sits in a wider planter. The title says 6 ft and a white pot, and a bullet says a hard polypropylene base with cement inside. The specification table’s 90 × 19 × 180 cm does not describe a normal canopy, so use the height and set that width aside. The seller claims 990 leaves, 30 fruits and adjustable branches, and the weight is 4.75 kg. No UV standard is stated. Skip it if you need a patio product or a published width you can trust.
Pros
- 4.6 from 1,002 ratings in a UK-heavy file
- Rank 5 in Decorative Artificial Trees
- Seller claims 990 leaves and adjustable branches
Cons
- Size table is not a credible canopy
- UK reviews say the included pot lets it fall
- No UV test is shown
Best for: A 180 cm indoor olive where you will add a wider planter.
Less suitable: A patio that needs a stated UV product, or a buyer who needs the published width to be right.

Common questions
How tall is the Alupssuc 6 ft olive?
The title says 6 ft. The specification table says 90 × 19 × 180 cm, which is an odd width for a canopy, so check the height rather than the width.
Does it include a pot?
The title says a white pot. A bullet says a hard polypropylene base with cement inside. UK reviews say that base is too small and the tree falls until it is moved into a larger pot.
Where were the written reviews posted?
The written reviews saved for this ASIN are United Kingdom reviews. The listing line is 4.6 out of 5 from 1,002 ratings.
Our view
The Alupssuc 5 ft olive is the best value among the tall olives here, at about £42.49, with 4.6 from 847 ratings and rank 3 in Decorative Artificial Trees. The listing says 150 cm, or 5 ft, and the weight is 3.5 kg. UK reviews praise the greens after you shape it, and they also say the white pot needs a larger planter. A cement mixture and moss are claimed, along with 936 leaves and 52 fruits. Recommended uses say indoors and outdoors, but a UK review says the leaves turned blue in a garden, and no UV standard is listed. The table’s 13 cm width is pot-scale, not a canopy, and flame resistant appears only as a special-feature string with no standard number. Choose it for a 150 cm indoor olive at the lower price in this pair, and keep it out of full sun.
Pros
- About £42.49 with 4.6 from 847 ratings
- Rank 3 in Decorative Artificial Trees
- Cement base and moss claimed
Cons
- Outdoor claim meets a blue-leaf UK review
- 13 cm table is not a canopy
- Pot balance is a repeated complaint
Best for: A 150 cm indoor olive at the lower price in this olive pair.
Less suitable: Full sun outside, or anyone who needs a published fire certificate.

Common questions
Is the 5 ft Alupssuc for outdoor use?
Recommended uses say indoors and outdoors. A UK review says the leaves turned blue in a garden. No UV standard is listed. Flame resistant is only a special-feature string.
How tall is it?
The listing says 150 cm, or 5 ft. The table’s 13 cm width is not a canopy measurement.
What do UK reviews repeat?
The saved reviews are United Kingdom reviews. Praise is for the look after shaping. Complaints are a small white pot, large-looking olives, a stump branch and outdoor colour change.
Our view
The YOLEO style 5 is an indoor 180 cm olive listed at about £48.44, with 4.6 from 275 ratings and rank 4 in Decorative Artificial Trees. The specification table gives 80 × 80 × 180 cm and a weight of 6.25 kg, which is one of the few canopy figures in this set that reads as a real spread. Recommended uses say indoor, one bullet also names a porch, and there is no UV line. The materials listed are cement, metal and silk, and the seller claims wire so you can reshape the branches. United Kingdom reviews split between a full corner tree after tweaking and reports of a lean, leaves that stay creased, or a tree that falls apart. You will need time on those creases before it looks like the photo. It is a poor fit if you want it outdoors or photo-ready on the day it arrives.
Pros
- Indoor use is stated
- 80 cm table is a real canopy figure
- Wire for reshaping is claimed
Cons
- Lean reported
- Creased leaves after unpacking
- One review says it falls apart
Best for: An indoor 180 cm olive if you will spend time on creases.
Less suitable: Outdoor use, or a buyer who wants it photo-ready with no fluffing.

Common questions

They are United Kingdom reviews. Several say it looks full after tweaking. Others report a lean, leaves that stay creased, or a tree that falls apart.

The title is 6 ft and the bullet says 180 cm. The table says 80 × 80 × 180 cm and the weight is 6.25 kg.
Our view
FEELEAD is a 210 cm indoor olive, the tallest in this set, at about £80.59, with rank 128 in Decorative Artificial Trees. The table is 55 × 55 × 210 cm, a usable footprint, with silk foliage, a weight of 5.9 kg and wired branches claimed. A weighted nursery pot is included, and the listing says a woven basket or ceramic planter is not. The title and recommended uses say indoor, with no UV line. The rating line is 4.6 from 131, and only two United Kingdom reviews are in the saved text, both short and positive. Comments about a sparse canopy, a lean, or a tree that does not look like an olive appear in non-UK text, and that text is not UK evidence. It suits a high ceiling if you accept a thin UK review file. It does not suit a buyer who wants hundreds of UK-written reviews at this height.
Pros
- 210 cm with a 55 cm footprint in the table
- Nursery pot included and described as weighted
- Wired branches claimed
Cons
- About £80.59 with only two UK reviews in the saved text
- Decorative planter not included
- Outdoor use is not claimed
Best for: A high-ceiling indoor corner if you accept a thin UK review file.
Less suitable: A buyer who wants hundreds of UK-written reviews at this height.

Our view
The Keeplush eucalyptus is about £79.99, titled 6 ft, with model number 180cm and a table of 25.4 × 25.4 × 182.9 cm that matches the title height. The specification line says indoor, the weight is 5.7 kg, and rank is 139 in Decorative Artificial Trees. A bullet claims 636 silk leaves and a tool-free trunk join in the arrow direction, while the material field says plastic, so those lines disagree. The rating is 4.6 from 70, and the saved text holds one United Kingdom review, which praises an easy living-room setup. Pot detail is not stated, and wired branches are not stated. It is an indoor eucalyptus look if that thin UK file is acceptable. It is a weak choice if you need outdoor use or a large set of UK-written reviews.
Pros
- Indoor is explicit
- Tool-free trunk join claimed
- 182.9 cm table matches a 6 ft title
Cons
- Silk and plastic lines conflict
- One UK review in the saved text
- Pot detail is not stated
Best for: An indoor eucalyptus look if the thin UK file is acceptable.
Less suitable: Outdoor use, or a decision that needs many UK-written reviews.

Our view
The Leaf 90 cm ficus is a bushy floor plant in a black plastic pot, not a 6 ft tree. At about £33.99 it is the lowest single-tree price in this amazon.co.uk set, with 4.5 from 3,820 ratings and a Best Sellers Rank of 24 in Decorative Artificial Plants. The manufacturer line is LeafUK. It is ready to display, and the listing says the stems are wired so you can shape them. The ceramic planters in the photos are illustration only, so the pot in a lifestyle shot is not the one in the box. The published size is 60 × 60 × 90 cm and the weight is 3.2 kg. Outdoor use is not stated. If you searched for a tall olive or palm, this review count will not give you that height.
Pros
- 3,820 ratings
- Wired stems
- Lowest single-tree price in the set at about £33.99
Cons
- Only 90 cm
- Outdoor use is not stated
- The plastic pot is plain
Best for: A low corner, shelf area, or first faux tree under 1 m.
Less suitable: Anyone who searched for a 6 ft olive or palm.

The Keeplush areca palm is listed at 180 cm and about £65.99, with 4.5 from 1,614 ratings and rank 41 in Decorative Artificial Plants. That is the largest rating count among the tall trees here, and the written reviews saved with it are from the United Kingdom. They praise mixed leaf shades and leaves you can bend, and the seller claims up to 570 leaves and 18 trunks. The same reviews repeat a top-heavy plant in a pot of about 6 inches that leans or tips until you move it into a larger pot with weight. The table of 16.5 × 16.5 × 180 cm is pot-scale, not a canopy spread, and the weight is 4.72 kg. A bullet claims UV-resistant technology and indoor and outside use. One UK update says the stems rust and it is not for outside, so that bullet is not a certificate. Buy it for an indoor corner only if you already own a wide, heavy planter.
Pros
- 1,614 ratings, UK-written block
- Mixed greens and bendable leaves in reviews
- Pot, guide and brochure listed
Cons
- Tips in the supplied pot
- UV claim disputed by a UK outdoor note
- 16.5 cm table is pot-scale, not spread
Best for: An indoor palm if you already have a wide, heavy planter.
Less suitable: An uncovered patio, or a hallway with only the 6 inch pot.

A bullet claims UV-resistant technology and indoor and outside use. A UK review says stems rust and it is not for outside.

Our view
The CROSOFMI areca palm is a 170 cm indoor tree at about £55.99, with 4.5 from 423 ratings, and the review block saved with it is from the United Kingdom. The listing says you connect the sections and fan the leaves, with no cutting, in about five minutes. A black plastic pot about 15.24 cm across and 12.7 cm high is claimed to contain cement, and the item weight is 4.71 kg. Buyers praise the look from a distance and still call the pot small for the plant. Joins and the odd broken tip show up close in those reviews. Rank is 715 in Decorative Artificial Plants, a different node from Decorative Artificial Trees. Have a larger basket ready and keep it out of outdoor sun. A one-year warranty in the bullet is seller copy, not a test result.
Pros
- Indoor title is clear
- Cement-filled pot claimed
- 423 ratings, UK-heavy file
Cons
- Pot about 15 cm across
- Rank 715 in Decorative Artificial Plants
- Joins visible up close in reviews
Best for: A 170 cm indoor palm with a larger basket ready.
Less suitable: Outdoor sun, or a buyer who will use only the included pot in a draught.

The Aptliton olive is titled 180 cm for indoor and outdoor use, at about £43.57, with 4.4 from 165 ratings and rank 84 in Decorative Artificial Plants. Material type is resin, the table is 15 × 18 × 180 cm, and the weight is 5.75 kg. UK reviews like the hallway height and mention moss that was not obvious from the title. One warning says sunlight turned the leaves a bright blue-green, so the outdoor line in the title is not a UV test. The bullet says branches are adjustable, while UK reviews say the main stems cannot be bent to widen the tree. Some reviewers say the weight holds once the tree is in a planter. Keep it for an indoor hallway with a basket. A sunny garden or balcony is the wrong place for it.
Pros
- 180 cm at about £43.57
- Moss mentioned by UK buyers
- Some reviews say the weight holds in a planter
Cons
- Sun fade reported against the outdoor title
- Main stems may not fan
- 15 × 18 cm table is not a canopy
Best for: An indoor hallway olive with a basket.
Less suitable: A sunny garden or balcony.

THKFUL’s boxwood pair is about £46.99, titled 70 cm and sold as a set of two, with a claim of UV-protected plastic for indoor or outdoor use. The rating is 4.3 from 64, and the rank is 15 in Decorative Artificial Trees. UK reviews like the look by a front door and say the pots are light, plain and less bushy than the photos until you fluff them. They also say the pots blow over and need pebbles or a heavier outer pot. The specification table says 10 × 10 × 10 mm and 454 g, which is not a credible size or weight for the pair, so use the title. Material is plastic in the table and PE in the bullet, and no test standard sits behind the UV bullet. It is a porch pair only if you will add weight, and the wrong row if you wanted a 180 cm floor tree.
Pros
- Sold as a pair
- UV protection is claimed
- Rank 15 in Decorative Artificial Trees
Cons
- Pots blow over in UK reviews
- 10 mm table and 454 g are not credible
- Shiny up close in reviews
Best for: A porch pair if you will add weight to the pots.
Less suitable: A 180 cm floor-tree search, or anyone relying on the specification table.

The Keeplush fiddle-leaf fig is the broad-leaf option and the highest price in the set, at about £99.99, with rank 814 in Decorative Artificial Trees. It claims 106 leaves and a white pot described as cement and stone, with stone decor and a quick-use guide in the box, and the weight is 7.5 kg, the heaviest item here. The rating is 4.3 from 32, and two United Kingdom reviews in the saved text praise a home office and a two-piece build. A bullet says no assembly is required, so the assembly wording conflicts. The title says indoor, while recommended uses say indoor and outdoor, and no UV standard is listed. Material is plastic in the table and polyester and rubber silk in the bullet. The table is 27 × 25 × 180 cm, while a bullet says 26 × 26 × 72 inches. It is a possible indoor fig if 32 ratings are enough for you, and a weak choice if you decide by review volume or by a clear outdoor claim.
Pros
- White pot and stone decor listed
- 106 leaves claimed
- Heaviest item weight in the set at 7.5 kg
Cons
- About £99.99 with 32 ratings
- Assembly wording conflicts
- Indoor and outdoor lines conflict
Best for: A broad-leaf indoor fig if a 32-rating file is enough.
Less suitable: A shopper using review volume or a clear outdoor claim to decide.

The THKFUL cedar pair is the lowest pair price in the set, at about £35.69, titled 70 cm and sold as two. UV and weather resistance are claimed in the special features, with no test standard, and the rating is 3.8 from 75, the lowest Customer Reviews line here. Rank is 47 in Decorative Artificial Trees. Material is ABS in the table and PE in the bullet. The title says 70 cm, the table says 10 × 10 × 10 mm and 454 g, and a bullet also says 28H, so the size lines conflict. UK comments that match a cedar split between a tidy doorway tree after fluffing and foliage that arrived crushed, plastic or sparse. Text about monstera bundles in the saved reviews is not about this cedar and was not used. Reviews say you can fill the pot, so buy it only if you can return a sparse pair.
Pros
- Lowest pair price at about £35.69
- UV and weather resistant are claimed
- Pot can be filled, per reviews
Cons
- 3.8 from 75 ratings
- Size lines conflict
- Crushed on arrival in some UK reviews
Best for: A cheap doorway pair only if you can return a sparse one.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs the photos and the specification table to match.

Common questions
What is the cedar pair’s rating?
3.8 out of 5 from 75 ratings, the lowest Customer Reviews line in this set.
Which size figure should you use?
The title says 70 cm for a set of two. The table says 10 × 10 × 10 mm and 454 g, and a bullet also says 28H. Those figures conflict.
What did UK reviews say about the trees themselves?
On-product comments split between realistic after fluffing and crushed, plastic or sparse on arrival. Text about monstera bundles and flower petals is not about this cedar.
How we compared
Twelve artificial trees on amazon.co.uk were scored on 16 October 2026 from the 15 October 2026 listing extracts and the written reviews saved with them. There was no studio trial and no laboratory score. The star line on each product stays the amazon.co.uk Customer Reviews figure. The editorial score is not the star rating times 20, so a 4.5 from 3,820 reviews on a 90 cm ficus does not outrank a 180 cm olive with a large United Kingdom review file. Browse rank is recorded and is not added to the score. Decorative Artificial Trees and Decorative Artificial Plants are different nodes.

A dimension table that cannot describe the product, such as a 10 mm row or a pot-scale width presented as the tree, takes 6 off. A UK review that contradicts an outdoor or UV claim takes 4 off.

Artificial tree buying guide
Start with the height you can stand, then the look, then whether the pot will stay upright, then whether you can shape the branches, then how much of the review text is from the United Kingdom. Price comes after those. The notes below follow that order for these twelve amazon.co.uk listings. None of the scores is a laboratory test, and none of the trees is certified fireproof.
What is an artificial tree?
An artificial tree, on these amazon.co.uk listings, is a decorative faux tree with a trunk and a canopy. You use it to fill a corner, a hallway, an office or a doorway without watering. It is not a living plant, and it is not one product. The olives in this set are the FEELEAD at 210 cm, the Alupssuc 6 ft and 5 ft, the YOLEO at 180 cm and the Aptliton at 180 cm. The palms are the CROSOFMI at 170 cm and the Keeplush at 180 cm.
Best for
- A renter filling a dark corner with a 150–180 cm indoor olive, if you will fluff it and add a wider planter
- A hallway that needs height, if you already have a basket for the nursery pot
- A front door, if you buy a 70 cm pair and add weight against wind
Not ideal for
- A patio that treats “indoor and outdoor” or a UV bullet as a British-summer colour test
- A buyer ranking a 90 cm ficus against a 6 ft olive on review count alone
- A business placing faux foliage near flames, an escape route or sprinklers
Mistakes to avoid
- 1
Trusting a 10 mm size table
Both THKFUL pairs are titled 70 cm. The specification table says 10 × 10 × 10 mm and 454 g. Use the title. The same caution applies when an Alupssuc width of 13 cm or 19 cm is presented as a canopy.
- 2
Reading indoor and outdoor as a UV test
UK reviews of the Aptliton olive and the Alupssuc 5 ft olive describe blue or blue-green fade outside. A UV bullet on the Keeplush palm is disputed by a UK note about rust. No listing shows a British Standard.
- 3
Treating a cement base as tip-proof
A weighted base is claimed on several olives and on the CROSOFMI palm. UK reviewers still report lean and tip-overs until the tree sits in a wider planter. Do not leave a pull-over tree where a child can topple it.
What to weigh up
Height, look and the pot
HighHeight, in centimetres, is the decision that the title has to match. A 150 cm olive and a 210 cm olive do not fill the same room. Check whether the figure includes the pot. Throw out a specification table that cannot describe the product: 10 × 10 × 10 mm on a 70 cm pair, or a 13 cm or 19 cm width offered as a canopy. The look is the next split. Olive, palm, fiddle-leaf fig, eucalyptus, bushy ficus, boxwood and cedar are different products.
Material, shaping and UK reviews
HighSilk or fabric leaves are an indoor job: wipe or dust them. PE or plastic, plus an explicit UV line, is the outdoor candidate on these listings. That line is still not a certificate. UK reviews on the Aptliton and the Alupssuc 5 ft olive describe colour shift in the sun. The Keeplush palm’s UV bullet meets a UK review that says the stems rust. Wired stems are what you bend after unboxing. The Leaf ficus, the YOLEO olive and several other bullets claim them.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
A hallway that needs height
You need height plus a real planter, not only the nursery pot. FEELEAD is 210 cm at about £80.59, with a 55 × 55 cm footprint and a weighted nursery pot. The decorative basket is not included, and only two United Kingdom reviews are in the saved text.
A front door that takes wind
You want a 70 cm pair and you must add weight against wind. The THKFUL boxwood pair is about £46.99, sold as two, with UV-protected plastic claimed and no test standard. UK reviews say the pots blow over until you add pebbles or a heavier outer pot.
Common questions about artificial trees
Which artificial tree is the top pick in this set?
The top pick is the Alupssuc 6 ft olive, at about £43.22 on amazon.co.uk. It averages 4.6 from 1,002 ratings, with rank 5 in Decorative Artificial Trees, and the written reviews saved with the listing are United Kingdom reviews. They describe a full canopy after you fluff the branches, and a pot that is too small until the tree sits in a wider planter. The specification width is not a credible canopy, and no UV standard is stated. The score comes from listing facts, not a lab test.
How much does an artificial tree cost on amazon.co.uk?
Prices here run from about £33.99 to about £99.99. That is these twelve listings, not a survey of every UK shop. About £34–£47 covers the Leaf 90 cm ficus, both 70 cm pairs, and the Alupssuc and Aptliton olives. About £48–£66 covers the YOLEO 180 cm olive and the two areca palms. About £80–£100 covers the FEELEAD 210 cm olive, the Keeplush eucalyptus and the Keeplush fiddle-leaf fig. Specialist UV outdoor trees at other UK retailers sit outside these ASINs, and their prices are not used here.
What should you check before you buy an artificial tree?
Start with height in centimetres, and check whether the listing counts the pot. A 150 cm olive and a 210 cm olive are different jobs. Ignore a table of 10 × 10 × 10 mm on a 70 cm topiary. Then choose the species look. Tall models here repeatedly need a wider planter. A cement-base sentence has not stopped UK reviewers reporting tip-overs. Wired stems are what you bend after unboxing. Prefer hundreds of UK reviews over a similar star score whose written reviews are mostly from the United States.
Can an artificial tree stay outside in the UK?
Treat “indoor and outdoor” as a title, not a test. No listing here shows a British Standard or a UV certificate. UK reviews of the Aptliton olive and the Alupssuc 5 ft olive describe blue or blue-green fade in the sun. A Keeplush palm bullet claims UV-resistant technology, and a UK review says the stems rust. Silk leaves are an indoor dusting job. Plastic plus a UV line is the outdoor candidate here, and colour through a British summer is still not proven.
Is a faux olive the same decision as a living olive tree?
No. These listings are decorative, with no watering and no winter care for a living plant. A faux olive fills a corner. A living olive has light, frost and watering needs this page does not score. If that is the tree you are weighing, use the olive tree comparison. Within the faux set, the Alupssuc 6 ft and 5 ft olives have the largest United Kingdom review files. The palms here are the CROSOFMI 170 cm and the Keeplush 180 cm. They are a different look, not a cheaper olive.
Do the furniture fire regulations cover an artificial tree?
No. The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Regulations 1988 cover upholstered furniture, not a decorative tree. In Great Britain a consumer product must still be safe in foreseeable use under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005. In Northern Ireland, EU Regulation 2023/988 applies from 13 December 2024. Kent Fire and Rescue Service says commercial faux foliage belongs in the fire risk assessment and should be fire-retardant or treated, away from flames and escape routes. “Flame resistant” on the Alupssuc 5 ft olive is only a special-feature string, not a certificate.
Will a cement base stop the tree tipping over?
Not on the evidence in these reviews. A weighted cement base is claimed on several olives and on the CROSOFMI palm. UK reviewers still report a lean, a tip-over, or a pot that is too small until the tree moves into a wider planter with stones. The Keeplush 180 cm palm is a repeated example: a pot of about 6 inches, and buyers add weight. At home, do not leave a pull-over tree where a child can topple it. A cement sentence is not a child-safety test.
When should you call a professional?
Call a competent fire-risk assessor when a business places faux foliage near flames or an escape route, or where it could block sprinklers. That is a commercial duty, not a step in unboxing a hallway olive. At home, the limit is simpler. If the tree can be pulled over onto a child, move it or weight the planter before you treat the listing as finished. Mains lights are a separate product. Nothing in this set has a mains plug.
Our verdict
The top pick is Leaf 90 cm bushy ficus, with the highest score in this comparison (7.9 out of 10, from 3,820 amazon.co.uk reviews). The best value is the Alupssuc 5 ft olive at about £42.49, with 4.6 from 847 ratings and rank 3. A UK garden review reports blue leaves, so the outdoor line is not treated as proven. The Leaf 90 cm ficus scores higher on rating count and has no badge, because it is a bush under 1 m, not a 150–210 cm tree. The other nine listings have no award. None of these scores is a laboratory test.
