Top pick: Alupssuc 6 ft silk – Highest score in the set, 86: 4.6 from 1,002 reviews on this ASIN, stated at 180 cm, at about £43.22. The light-base complaint stays in the score. Best value: YOLEO Style 2 – About £31.96, 120 cm, indoor, and 4.6 from 897 reviews on this ASIN. The shared 48-review HAUSPROFI at about £29.74 does not take the award. Updated October 2026.
Shoppers who type olive tree on amazon.co.uk are shown faux floor trees, not a living europaea. These twelve listings run from about 120 cm to about 180 cm, with silk, polyester or plastic leaves, wire branches you shape after unpacking, and a small pot or a claimed cement base. You match the centimetre height to the ceiling, judge the opened canopy from across the room, and check that the base stays upright in a real planter.
The RHS rates europaea H4, for sun and sharp drainage, and pots are more exposed to frost. How to read height, the pot and the outdoor line is in the [olive tree buying guide](/hub/trees-and-palms/olive-tree/sub/olive-tree-buying-guide).
A living garden olive is a nursery plant. Fruit is not ready to eat off the branch, and faux fruit is not food.

The Alupssuc 6 ft faux olive is listed at 180 cm and 4.75 kg, with 990 silk leaves and 30 fruits on an alloy-steel frame. On amazon.co.uk it shows 4.6 from 1,002 reviews, and the first 50 comments in the file often say it looks realistic from across a room and fuller than a price of about £43.22 suggested. Assembly is described as straightforward, and some visitors only realise it is artificial when they are told. Those same reviews say the base is light and the tree falls until you add weight, even though a cement base is claimed. Close up, the leaves and trunk still read as artificial, and the included pot is plain enough that buyers add a basket or a ceramic planter. A few comments mention a 150 cm or a 7 ft tree, so the written sample may mix sizes. The 1,002 line is the largest review count in this set that is not shared with another ASIN here, and you still need to check the height on your own order.
Pros
Stated 180 cm with 990 leaves and 30 fruits printed on the listing
4.6 from 1,002 reviews, a count not shared with the other Alupssuc ASINs here
Reviewers describe a fuller look than the price of about £43.22 led them to expect
Seller claims a flame-retardant treatment and supplies a pot
Cons
Base is light and the tree tips until you add weight
Included pot is plain, so buyers replace it with a basket or ceramic pot
Some written reviews appear to describe other heights
Best for: A hallway or lounge corner where 180 cm fits under the ceiling and you can set the trunk in a heavier planter.
Less suitable: A windy balcony, or anyone who needs the photographed pot to be the pot in the box and a base that stands without extra weight.
The YOLEO Style 2 is the 120 cm indoor tree at about £31.96 and 3.48 kg, with a 4.6 rating from 897 amazon.co.uk reviews. That is the second-largest review count in the set, and it is not shared with another ASIN here. Reviewers say it can look realistic from across a dining room for the money, and some copies have a heavy base. The same file includes sparse-versus-the-picture comments, a pot so small the tree topples, a smell on unpacking, a straight thin stalk, leaf undersides with no detail, and arrival damage. One title mentions 180 cm, so a size mix is possible. At this price, with this many reviews on one 120 cm indoor listing, it is the best value in the table for a small room, provided you plan a wider planter. It is not a 180 cm tree and the photo can overstate the canopy.
Pros
About £31.96 with 4.6 from 897 reviews on this ASIN
Stated 120 cm, which suits a lower ceiling
Indoor recommended use is explicit
Some reviewers report a heavy base
Cons
Canopy described as sparse against the photograph
Supplied pot is small enough that the tree topples
Smell, a thin stalk, blank leaf undersides, and transit damage appear in the file
Best for: A small flat or dining corner where 120 cm is the right height and about £32 is the budget.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a full 180 cm tree or a pot that matches the photograph without a replacement.
The Alupssuc 4 ft natural-trunk listing states 120 cm and 3.48 kg, with 576 leaves and 32 fruits, at about £35.99. The seller says indoor and outdoor and claims a flame-retardant treatment, and a pot is included. The 4.6 from 847 reviews is the same line as the 150 cm and 180 cm natural-trunk Alupssuc ASINs in this comparison. Shared praise is a realistic look after shaping and easy assembly. Shared criticism covers a small pot and leaf loss. Outdoor blueing appears in that shared text, and those outdoor comments are not clearly about this 120 cm ASIN. You can use the printed height, leaf count and price. You should not use the 847 figure as if 847 people had reviewed this 4 ft tree on its own.
Pros
Stated 120 cm with 576 leaves and 32 fruits
Pot supplied and a cement base claimed
Captured price about £35.99
Seller claims a flame-retardant treatment
Cons
Stars and review titles are shared with two taller Alupssuc ASINs
Outdoor colour comments cannot be pinned to this 120 cm listing
The shared text describes the tree as flat until it is shaped
Best for: A 120 cm indoor corner if you want the Alupssuc natural-trunk leaf count and you discount the shared 847 reviews.
Less suitable: A patio choice based on the indoor-and-outdoor sentence, or a comparison that treats 847 as unique to this ASIN.
The Alupssuc 5 ft listing states 150 cm and 3.5 kg, with 936 leaves and 52 fruits, a wood-and-polyester build, and a cement base claimed. The amazon.co.uk line is 4.6 from 847 reviews at about £42.49, but that count, the rank, and the review titles match the 120 cm and 180 cm natural-trunk Alupssuc files, so it is not a separate sample for this height. In the shared text, reviewers say it looks more expensive than the price once the branches are shaped, and some say the base is heavy enough not to fall. Others report leaves turning blue outdoors on a listing sold as indoor and outdoor, a pot that is too small, lost leaves, and one branch that looked like a stump. Olives are described as a little large, and the tree looks flat until you shape it. Use the 150 cm figure on the title when you decide, and do not treat the 847 stars as unique to this ASIN.
Pros
Stated 150 cm with 936 leaves and 52 fruits
Pot is named in the included components
Shared comments praise a realistic look after shaping
Captured price about £42.49, with a seller flame-retardant claim
Cons
The 847 reviews are shared with two other Alupssuc heights
Outdoor comments describe leaves turning blue
Pot described as too small, with leaf drop after arrival
Best for: An indoor corner that needs about 150 cm and a named pot, if you accept that the review text is shared.
Less suitable: A sunny patio, or a buyer who needs reviews that clearly refer only to this 150 cm ASIN.
This Alupssuc 6 ft natural-trunk listing states 180 cm, 1,224 leaves and 68 fruits, in cement, polyester and wood, at about £56.99. That is the highest price in the comparison. The printed item weight is 2.0 kg, which sits oddly against a 180 cm floor tree and a cement-base claim. The 4.6 from 847 reviews is the same count, rank and titles as the 120 cm and 150 cm natural-trunk Alupssuc files. Shared praise covers a realistic look, easy assembly, and a sense of a bargain against dearer trees. Shared criticism includes outdoor leaves shifting towards blue, a small pot, and comments about a 5 ft tree. The outdoor sentence on this particular ASIN is unclear. You would be paying the top price in the set for a height whose reviews are not its own and whose weight line does not match the size.
Pros
Highest printed leaf count in the set at 1,224 leaves and 68 fruits
Stated height 180 cm with a pot included
Seller claims a flame-retardant treatment
Cons
Dearest listing in the set at about £56.99
Item weight prints 2.0 kg on a 180 cm tree
The 847 reviews are shared with the 4 ft and 5 ft natural-trunk Alupssuc ASINs
Outdoor claim on this ASIN is unclear
Best for: A buyer who specifically wants the 1,224-leaf count on the 180 cm natural-trunk title and will not treat the shared stars as proof.
Less suitable: Anyone using the price or the 847-count as evidence that this is the fullest independently reviewed 6 ft tree.
The FEELEAD 6 ft listing is the tall class with a measurement clash: one dimension line says 182.9 cm while the title says 180 cm, or 6 ft. Item weight is 5.42 kg, the captured price is about £53.28, and the rating is 4.6 from 407 amazon.co.uk reviews. Recommended use is indoor. The seller claims silk leaves, a natural wood trunk and more than 1,200 leaves, without a fruit count. Reviewers who wrote a comment call it tall and realistic, like the leaf colours, and say assembly is easy and it does not look cheap. Many of the 50 blocks in the file are only a verified purchase with no sentence. A strong plastic smell indoors is the clear written complaint, and one review discusses an 8 ft tree, so sizes may be mixed. The pot is not clearly named and there is no weighted-base figure. It is a tall indoor option if both height figures still leave you headroom and you can air the room after unpacking.
Pros
Tall indoor tree with 4.6 from 407 reviews
Seller claims more than 1,200 leaves and a natural wood trunk
Item weight 5.42 kg
Written comments praise leaf colour and easy assembly
Cons
Height is 182.9 cm on one line and 180 cm in the title
A strong plastic smell is reported indoors
Many review blocks have no written text
Pot is not clearly named
Best for: A high-ceiling indoor corner where either 180 cm or 182.9 cm still leaves headroom.
Less suitable: A small flat, a patio, or a buyer who needs one height figure and a named pot.
The YOLEO Style 5 is a stated 180 cm indoor faux olive at 6.25 kg, the heaviest item weight in this comparison, priced at about £48.44. Its 4.6 rating comes from 275 amazon.co.uk reviews that are not copied onto another ASIN in this set. Reviewers call it lifelike from a normal distance, easy to slot together from three pieces, and fuller than they feared, including as a corner piece under a high ceiling. The recommended-use line is indoor, even where a bullet mentions a porch or a coffee shop. Written complaints say the leaves are too bright a green, the tree is a little unstable, and one review title says it falls apart frequently. Leaf and fruit counts are not printed, and there is no flame-retardant claim. It suits a tall indoor corner if you will steady the base, and it is a weak match if you wanted a UV or outdoor result.
Pros
Heaviest listed weight in the set at 6.25 kg
Recommended use is indoor, so the setting line is not an outdoor claim
4.6 from 275 reviews that belong to this ASIN in the file
Reviewers describe it as a high-ceiling corner piece
Cons
Foliage colour is called too bright and fake close up
Some copies are unstable or do not stay joined
No leaf or fruit count and no flame-retardant claim
Best for: An indoor room with headroom for 180 cm where you want the heavier frame in this table.
Less suitable: A patio, or a buyer who needs a printed leaf count and a base that never needs extra weight.
The FEELEAD 5 ft indoor olive is stated at 150 cm and 5.0 kg, in silk, at about £50.91, with 4.6 from 258 amazon.co.uk reviews. Many of the 50 blocks in the file are only marked as a verified purchase, so the written sample is thinner than the star count, and one comment is in French. Buyers who left a sentence call it nicely made and a bargain, and say you can swap the pot for a larger one filled with moss. Inside the same file a reviewer says the trunk is plastic, not wood, with a mould line, and not as described. The main branch is called a bit crooked and hard to straighten, and the pot is small. Leaf count and base weight are not stated. The indoor label is clear. It is a mid-height silk tree if you can accept a disputed trunk and a large share of star-only reviews.
Pros
Indoor use is the listing line
Stated 150 cm and an item weight of 5.0 kg
4.6 from 258 reviews on this ASIN
A pot is included
Cons
A reviewer says the trunk is plastic with a mould line, not wood
Many review blocks have no written comment
Small pot and a crooked main branch that is hard to straighten
No printed leaf count and no weighted-base figure
Best for: An indoor 150 cm corner where you will change the pot and you are content with a silk listing.
Less suitable: A buyer who needs a wooden trunk as a checked fact, or written reviews rather than star-only lines.
The Aptliton 5 ft tree is stated at 150 cm and 4.4 kg, in cement, plastic and wood, at about £39.92. The rating is 4.4 from 165 amazon.co.uk reviews, a step below the 4.6 cluster in this set. Reviewers call it elegant and realistic for the price, a good size once placed, and sturdy enough for some garden spots. The same file says it is not suitable outside because leaves turned a bright blue-green in the sun, that it needs a better pot, that it was shorter than expected, that it smelled, and that it leans. At least one review mentions a 180 cm order on this 150 cm title. The seller says indoor and outdoor, and the file has no UV document. The pot is not clearly named. It is a mid-price 150 cm tree for indoors, with a direct review warning against leaving it in sun.
Pros
Stated 150 cm at about £39.92 with its own 165 reviews
Item weight 4.4 kg, heavier than the 2.0 kg listings
Reviewers like the size once it is in place
Cons
Leaves reported turning a bright blue-green in sun
Shorter than one buyer expected, with a smell and a lean on arrival
Pot is not clearly named
4.4 from 165, below the 4.6 lines elsewhere in the set
Best for: An indoor 150 cm spot at about £40 where you will use a better pot and keep the tree out of direct sun.
Less suitable: A sunny patio, or a reader who takes the indoor-and-outdoor bullet as a UV result.
The HAUSPROFI 4 ft is the lowest captured price in the set at about £29.74, stated at 120 cm and 2.0 kg. Materials are EVA, PP, plastic and iron wire, and a cement base is claimed, but the pot is not clearly named and the outdoor wording is unclear. The 4.3 rating from 48 reviews matches the 150 cm HAUSPROFI file, including an off-topic Christmas-box comment, so the stars do not describe this height on their own. Reviewers who praise the shared text mention a realistic look for the price, a matte finish, and low maintenance. Pale leaf undersides and bare areas are the repeated criticisms, along with sizing lines that refer to other heights. Only 28 review blocks are in the file. It is the cheap 120 cm option when that shared text is enough for you, and it is a poor basis for comparing star ratings across the two HAUSPROFI heights.
Pros
Lowest captured price in the set at about £29.74
Stated height 120 cm
Shared comments mention a matte leaf finish
Cons
Review text and the 48-count are shared with the 150 cm HAUSPROFI
Pale undersides and a thin canopy in the shared comments
Pot not clearly named and item weight only 2.0 kg
Best for: A tight budget for a stated 120 cm faux olive when you do not need a separate review sample.
Less suitable: A reader comparing star ratings as if each HAUSPROFI height had its own 48 reviews.
The HAUSPROFI 5 ft listing states 150 cm at about £33.99 and 2.0 kg, in EVA, PP, plastic and iron wire, with a cement base claimed. The star line is 4.3 from 48 reviews, and the same text and the same count appear on the 120 cm HAUSPROFI ASIN, so you cannot read 48 as evidence for this height alone. Only 28 review blocks are in the file. Praised points are a realistic look for the price, matte leaves rather than shiny plastic, and olives and a trunk that some buyers liked. Criticisms are pale leaf undersides, bare patches, and sizing comments that do not match 150 cm. The unit count prints 12.0 with no explanation, the pot is not clearly named, and the outdoor line is unclear. An off-topic Christmas-storage comment sits in the same file. It is a low shelf price for a stated 150 cm, on a thin and shared review base.
Pros
Stated 150 cm at a captured price of about £33.99
Reviewers who like the shared text mention matte leaves rather than glossy plastic
A cement base is claimed
Cons
The 48 reviews are shared with the 120 cm HAUSPROFI listing
Pale undersides and thin areas in the canopy
Pot is not clearly named, weight is 2.0 kg, and the unit count prints 12.0
Best for: A buyer who wants a stated 150 cm tree at about £34 and can live with a small shared review file.
Less suitable: Anyone who needs a named pot, a clear indoor-or-outdoor sentence, or reviews that belong only to this ASIN.
The CETRD 4 ft tree is stated at 120 cm and about £33.24, with 390 leaves and 20 fruits, a plastic build, and a claimed cement base at 2.0 kg. It carries the lowest star line in this set: 3.8 from 317 amazon.co.uk reviews. Some buyers say it can look realistic after the branches are arranged, and assembly is described as simple, including use indoors or under cover. Repeated complaints are a need for a heavier pot, a pot in the box that is not the pot in the picture, a snapped branch, crumpled leaves, a plastic look, a lean, and a canopy that is not full. Several reviews discuss a 6 ft tree, so the text may mix sizes. The 317 count is a real volume of reviews, and the 3.8 score is why this is the weak 120 cm listing beside the YOLEO Style 2, not a like-for-like bargain.
Pros
120 cm with a printed count of 390 leaves and 20 fruits
317 reviews, so the low score is not a handful of comments
Captured price about £33.24
Seller says indoor and outdoor
Cons
Lowest rating in the set at 3.8 out of 5
Broken branch, a pot that is not the pictured pot, a lean, and a sparse canopy
Item weight is only 2.0 kg
Best for: A covered spot where 120 cm is enough and you will replace the pot, knowing this is the weakest star line in the table.
Less suitable: A buyer who wants the stronger 4.6 lines in this set, or a tree that arrives full and straight.
Bullets and special features say weather resistant and indoor or outdoor. The file has no UV test.
Does it need to be assembled?
The listing says you insert the trunk into holes, and it claims under five minutes.
Is a pot included?
Included components name a fake olive tree pot. Reviewers say the pot in the box is not the pot in the picture.
How we compared
Twelve faux olive trees on amazon.co.uk were scored on 16 October 2026 from listing facts and review notes, not from a garden trial. The score is an editorial figure from 0 to 100. It is not the star rating times 20. Review evidence is up to 30 points, practical comments up to 25, listing clarity up to 20, and price in this set up to 25. A shared review count is reduced, and it is not counted again for each height. In sentences, the highest score is the top pick and the strongest price-and-evidence score is the best value. No listing here is called fireproof, and an indoor-and-outdoor bullet is not a UV result.

Olive tree buying guide
Read the centimetre height before the foot label, then the setting line, then the pot and the weight, then whether the review count belongs to this ASIN. Price comes after those. The notes below follow that order for these twelve amazon.co.uk faux olive trees. None of the scores is a garden trial. For other faux species, see the [artificial tree comparison](/hub/trees-and-palms/artificial-tree).
What is on these olive tree listings?
These twelve amazon.co.uk listings are artificial olive trees, not living Olea europaea. A living garden olive is a nursery plant. The RHS rates Olea europaea H4, which is about −10 °C to −5 °C through most of the UK, with more risk in pots. It wants sun and sharp drainage. Wet heavy soil is a stated problem. Fruit is not ready to eat off the branch, and faux fruit is not food. If you wanted a tree that grows, none of these ASINs is that purchase.
Height comes next, in centimetres.
Best for
A flat that wants greenery without watering, if the centimetre height clears the ceiling
A hallway at about 180 cm where you will add weight to a light base
An indoor corner where the listing says indoor, rather than a sunny patio
Not ideal for
A living olive for the garden, which is a nursery plant under RHS H4, not one of these ASINs
A sunny patio bought on an indoor-and-outdoor bullet with no UV test
A café that needs a fire certificate these listings do not contain
Mistakes to avoid
1
Trusting 6 ft over the centimetre line
In this set, 6 ft usually sits on 180 cm, and the FEELEAD 6 ft file also prints 182.9 cm. A few reviews mention another height. Read the centimetre line on the order you are about to place.
2
Judging the tree before you shape it
These trees arrive flat. Wire branches are meant to be opened. Pale leaf backs and a sparse photo comparison are separate complaints from a canopy you have not shaped yet.
3
Reading one shared review count as three tests
Three Alupssuc natural-trunk ASINs print 4.6 from 847. Both HAUSPROFI ASINs print 4.3 from 48. Use the height and the price. Do not treat those stars as a fresh sample for every size.
What to weigh up
Height, setting and the base
High
The first split is faux or living. Every product on this page is faux. A living Olea europaea is H4 on the RHS scale, for sun and sharp drainage, with pots more exposed to frost. That plant is not in this table.
Then match centimetres to the room. About 120 cm is the YOLEO Style 2, the CETRD, the HAUSPROFI 4 ft and the Alupssuc 4 ft natural. About 150 cm is the Alupssuc 5 ft natural, the HAUSPROFI 5 ft, the Aptliton and the FEELEAD 5 ft.
Fullness, price and whose reviews they are
High
Printed leaf counts, where the file has them, run from 390 on the CETRD to 1,224 leaves and 68 fruits on the Alupssuc 6 ft natural. The Alupssuc 6 ft silk prints 990 leaves and 30 fruits. Several listings, including both YOLEO trees and both HAUSPROFI trees, print no leaf count. Pale undersides and a canopy that looks thin against the photograph are repeated comments. You shape the branches after unpacking, and you judge the tree from across the room, not from a flat carton.
Which option suits you?
Three typical situations, each with a recommendation from this comparison.
🏠
A flat with a lower ceiling
You want greenery without watering, and 180 cm will not clear the ceiling. The YOLEO Style 2 is stated at 120 cm and indoor, at about £31.96, with 4.6 from 897 reviews on this ASIN. Reviewers say the supplied pot is small and the canopy can look sparse against the photo.
A silk tree is not a living olive. If you will keep a faux tree indoors, the YOLEO Style 5 use line says indoor, at a stated 180 cm and 6.25 kg, about £48.44. It is a weak match for a sunny patio, and the files have no UV test.
You have headroom for 180 cm and you will set the trunk in a heavier planter. The Alupssuc 6 ft silk tree is about £43.22, with 990 leaves and 30 fruits on the listing, and 4.6 from 1,002 reviews that are not shared with the other Alupssuc ASINs here. Those reviews say the base is light until you add weight.
The top pick is the Alupssuc 6 ft silk tree, ASIN B0CRRQX62Z, at about £43.22. The listing states 180 cm, 4.75 kg, 990 leaves and 30 fruits, and the seller says indoor and outdoor. On amazon.co.uk it shows 4.6 from 1,002 reviews, and that count is not shared with another ASIN in this set. Reviewers describe a fuller look than the price suggested, and they also say the base is light until you add weight. There was no laboratory test.
Which listing is the best value?
The best value is the YOLEO Style 2 at about £31.96. It is stated at 120 cm and 3.48 kg, and the recommended use is indoor. It shows 4.6 from 897 reviews on that ASIN. Reviewers say it can look realistic from across a dining room, and that the canopy can be sparse against the photograph and the pot small enough that the tree topples. The HAUSPROFI 4 ft at about £29.74 stays lower because its 48 reviews are shared.
How much does a faux olive tree cost on amazon.co.uk?
In this set, captured on 15 October 2026, prices run from about £29.74 to about £56.99. About £30 to £36 covers both HAUSPROFI heights, the YOLEO 4 ft, the CETRD 4 ft and the Alupssuc 4 ft. About £40 to £48 covers the Aptliton 5 ft, the Alupssuc 5 ft, the Alupssuc 6 ft silk and the YOLEO 6 ft. About £51 to £57 covers both FEELEAD trees and the Alupssuc 6 ft natural trunk. These twelve listings are not a UK average.
Can you put one of these olive trees outdoors?
Not on the strength of an indoor-and-outdoor bullet. These files have no UV test. YOLEO’s recommended-use line says indoor. Reviews on several other ASINs describe leaves turning blue-green in sun. A cement base is often claimed, and reviewers still report a light or small pot. Keep a faux tree off heaters and naked flames. A sunny patio is a poor match for this set.
Is this the same as a living olive tree?
No. Every ASIN here is artificial. A living Olea europaea is a nursery plant. The RHS rates it H4, about −10 °C to −5 °C through most of the UK, with more risk in a pot, and it wants sun and sharp drainage. Wet heavy soil is a stated problem. Fruit needs preparation and is not ready to eat off the branch. Faux olives are not food. The difference between a real plant and a silk tree is set out in a real plant or an artificial tree.
Why do some olive trees share the same review count?
Three Alupssuc natural-trunk ASINs, the 4 ft, 5 ft and 6 ft, print the same 4.6 from 847 reviews, with the same rank and review titles. Both HAUSPROFI ASINs print the same 4.3 from 48 reviews. Those counts are one sample each, not a new sample for every height. The Alupssuc 6 ft silk file is a separate 4.6 from 1,002. The YOLEO Style 2 is a separate 4.6 from 897. Use the printed height and price, and do not add the shared stars up.
Does flame-retardant on the listing mean it is certified?
No. Some Alupssuc bullets say a flame-retardant treatment. The files have no certificate number and no British Standard. This comparison does not call any tree fireproof. In a business in England and Wales, GOV.UK treats artificial foliage as display material that should be fire-retardant or treated. Kent Fire and Rescue Service says keep it off escape routes and away from flames, and keep certificates. A home hallway is a different decision from a café.
What height should you buy?
Match the centimetre line to the ceiling, not the foot label on its own. In this set, 4 ft is about 120 cm, 5 ft about 150 cm, and 6 ft about 180 cm. The FEELEAD 6 ft file prints 182.9 cm as well as 180 cm in the title. A retailer rule of thumb is 30 to 40 cm of clearance under the ceiling, plus any taller outer pot. Some reviews mention a different height from the title, so check the line on your order.
Our verdict
In this set of twelve amazon.co.uk faux olive trees, the top pick is the Alupssuc 6 ft silk tree. It is about £43.22, stated at 180 cm, with 4.6 from 1,002 reviews on that ASIN, and the editorial score is 86. The light base is already inside that score. The best value is the YOLEO Style 2 at about £31.96, stated at 120 cm and indoor, with 4.6 from 897 reviews on that ASIN, and the score is 77. The cheapest listing, the HAUSPROFI 4 ft at about £29.74, has no award because its 48 reviews are shared with the 5 ft file. The other ten have no award. None of these scores is a garden trial.
