Artificial Olive Trees

International Greenscapes

Custom artificial trees

Artificial Trees & Plants Made in America

The Mediterranean olive is our most requested species. Its characteristic gnarled trunk, expansive canopy, and timeless silhouette make it one of the most versatile trees in commercial design, equally at home in a historic glass atrium, a Las Vegas restaurant, or an outdoor patio. At International Greenscapes, we fabricate custom artificial olive trees for commercial projects across the country, built to specification and engineered to last.

Three Ways to Build an Olive Tree

Every space is different. We offer three distinct fabrication approaches for commercial artificial olive trees, each suited to a different set of project requirements.

Hand-sculpted over a welded steel armature. Each trunk is carved by artisan sculptors using silicone molds taken from real olive trees. Sizes up to 50+ feet. Fabricated by NATUREMAKER™, an International Greenscapes company.

Built on a real preserved olive trunk with a custom-crafted canopy. Delivers genuine bark texture and character that fabricated trunks approximate but cannot fully replicate. Fabricated by PLANTWORKS™, an International Greenscapes company.

Synthetic construction throughout. Best suited to outdoor exposure, high-humidity environments, or projects requiring consistent, repeatable results across multiple locations. Fabricated by TREESCAPES™, an International Greenscapes company.

Where Artificial Olive Trees Perform Best

The olive’s form and visual weight make it one of the more adaptable species in commercial biophilic design.

These are the refined commercial interiors where its quiet weight and sculptural form feel most intentional.

Restaurants and Dining Rooms

Olives create an immediate sense of place in dining environments, referencing Mediterranean courtyard gardens without the maintenance overhead. See our work at CATCH Las Vegas, Vanderpump à Paris, and JOEY Newport Beach.

Hotel Lobbies and Atriums

A large-canopy olive reads as an architectural anchor in double-height lobbies and glass atriums. The branching pattern fills vertical space without blocking sightlines.

Retail and Showroom Environments

Restoration Hardware has used our Mediterranean olives across multiple locations, including RH Chicago’s Three Arts Club atrium and RH West Palm Beach.

Custom Fabricated Artificial Trees: What to Know Before Specifying a One-of-a-Kind Project

Outdoor Patios and Terraces

Our fully fabricated olive trees are engineered for exterior use, with UV-inhibited foliage and weather-resistant construction. The JOEY Newport Beach project features an outdoor olive assembled on a recessed mounting base concealed in the patio floor.

Corporate and Coworking Spaces

A 22-foot NATUREMAKER™ olive tree is the centerpiece of Ledger Bentonville, the world’s first bikeable building. Trees of this scale serve as gathering points and visual anchors in open-plan workspaces.

Casinos and Entertainment Venues

High-traffic, high-visibility environments with strict fire code requirements. Our inherently fire-retardant foliage meets NFPA 701, California Title 19, and ASTM E84 Class A standards.

What Makes These Trees Look Real

Trunk realism.

The Mediterranean olive has one of the most distinctive trunk profiles in commercial design, deeply furrowed, knotted, and irregular. Our NATUREMAKER™ sculptors use silicone molds taken from actual olive trees to stamp genuine texture into hand-carved polymer compounds. No two trunks are identical.

Foliage accuracy.

Our UltraLeaf-IFR® foliage system is engineered to 87% botanical accuracy. Olive foliage is characterized by its narrow silver-green leaves and soft, layered canopy. We replicate the density and drape of a mature tree canopy, not a uniform ball of greenery.

Custom planter integration.

We design planters to match your architectural features. The RH Chicago project, for example, integrates custom planters that complement the building’s historic brick archways and European-style fountain.

Safety and Code Compliance

All International Greenscapes artificial olive trees are engineered to meet or exceed commercial building codes. This is non-negotiable for casino, airport, hospitality, and public assembly environments.

 

We provide stamped certifications for fire marshals and building inspectors, ensuring smooth permitting and occupancy approvals.

Fire safety certifications:

  • ASTM E84 Class A (flame spread and smoke development, the highest commercial rating)
  • NFPA 701 (fire-retardant textiles and films)
  • California Title 19 (one of the most stringent fire codes in North America)
  • U.S. Government SIN-494-4 (federal facilities)

Structural engineering:

  • Seismic calculations provided for high-risk zones
  • Wind load analysis for exterior projects
  • IBC-compliant anchoring specifications
  • Professional engineering stamps available

For exterior patios, terrace dining, hotel pool decks, and retail streetscapes, our fully fabricated olive trees are built for outdoor conditions.

UltraLeaf-X® UV-inhibited foliage uses UV stabilizers bonded into the material, not a surface coating. The result is fade resistance under sustained direct sunlight, with a colorfast guarantee for exterior applications.

Additional outdoor engineering includes:

Available Configurations

Our artificial olive trees can be fabricated in three structural configurations depending on your architectural conditions and design goals.

Freestanding. The most common format. Trees stand independently on base plates anchored to the structural slab. Appropriate for most interior and exterior applications.

Column-wrapped. One of NATUREMAKER™’s signature engineering approaches. The tree’s steel armature wraps existing structural columns, transforming a utilitarian concrete or I-beam column into a biophilic feature. This is particularly effective in large-span lobbies or older buildings being retrofitted.

Wall-mounted. Trees that appear to grow from walls or vertical surfaces. Effective where floor space is limited but vertical presence is needed.

For projects requiring lighting integration, our steel-core trees can accommodate uplighting within root structures, programmable LED systems in the canopy, and concealed speakers or A/V equipment within the trunk.

Our Process

How a Project Works

  • Complimentary Consultation

    We review your project brief, space dimensions, and design goals. No charge for consultation, preliminary concepts, or design work.

  • Species and Sizing Recommendations

    We recommend trunk style, canopy spread, and height based on your architectural volume and intended visual impact.

  • Design Development

    Our team produces renderings for your specific space. We iterate as many times as needed until the design is right.

  • Engineering and Specifications

    Structural calculations, fire certification documentation, and engineering stamps prepared for your building department.

  • Fabrication

    Trees are fabricated at our American studios. Minimum lead time is three months from design approval.

  • On-Site Assembly

    Our assembly crews coordinate delivery and handle on-site assembly, secure anchoring, and finishing. We work within your construction schedule to minimize disruption.
