Natural Trunk Trees for Commercial Spaces

International Greenscapes

Custom artificial trees

Artificial Trees & Plants Made in America

Real preserved wood trunks paired with artisan-crafted foliage, built for restaurants, hotels, lobbies, and retail spaces. Each tree is custom designed by PLANTWORKS®, delivering authentic bark texture and organic character without ongoing plant care.

Over 100 years of combined experience across three brands. Studios in California, Nevada, and Florida.

Available Species and Trunk Styles

Natural Trunk Ficus Trees

Smooth bark, graceful branching, and dense canopies make ficus one of our most versatile species. Available in multiple varieties, from weeping fig to fiddle leaf, to match virtually any interior design direction.

Natural Trunk Olive Trees

Gnarly, characterful trunks with silver-green foliage. Mediterranean olives are our most requested species across all brands, prized for their sculptural presence in dining rooms, atriums, and lobbies.

Natural Trunk Birch Trees

Distinctive white bark and airy canopies in single or multi-trunk configurations. Birch brings a light, contemporary feel that works well in modern hospitality and corporate settings.

Tropical and Custom Species

Beyond our core species, PLANTWORKS® can source and preserve trunks for a range of tropical and decorative varieties. If your design calls for a specific species, our team will work with you to bring it to life.

Entertainment Venues

From social clubs to themed dining, natural trunk trees bring theatrical greenery to high-energy spaces. At Flight Club in Washington, DC, PLANTWORKS® delivered two signature natural trunk ficus trees accented with pink blossoms.

Why Commercial Clients Choose This Option

Real Wood, Genuine Character

Preserved natural trunks retain the bark grain, knots, and organic imperfections of the original tree. The result is texture that synthetic materials cannot replicate.

Lower Weight, Easier Logistics

Natural trunk trees are significantly lighter than full steel-core constructions, simplifying delivery and reducing structural load requirements for upper floors.

Cost-Effective at Smaller Scales

For trees in the 6 to 16-foot range, natural trunk construction is more cost-effective than custom steel armatures while still delivering a high-end result.

Zero Ongoing Plant Maintenance

No watering, no fertilizing, no seasonal replanting. PLANTWORKS® trees maintain their appearance year-round with only occasional dusting.

Inherently Fire-Retardant Foliage

Available with UltraLeaf-IFR® foliage that meets ASTM E84 Class A and NFPA 701 standards. Fire protection is built into the material, not sprayed on.

Customizable Canopy and Scale

Canopy density, height, walk-under clearance, and species are all adjustable to suit your specific space and design goals.

Species, Sizes, and Trunk Details

Each tree is crafted from a carefully selected, preserved real wood trunk. Below are the standard options and parameters we work within.

Standard Height Range

Typically 6 to 16 feet, sized for standard commercial ceiling heights. Custom heights available on request.

Canopy Configuration

Density and spread are adjustable to suit sightlines and spatial constraints. Walk-under clearance is customizable.

Trunk Preservation

Genuine trunks are selected, preserved, and sealed for long-term interior use. Natural bark texture and grain are retained.

Foliage Options

Artisan-crafted branches and foliage are added to the preserved trunk. Available in standard green, seasonal blooms, or custom color palettes.

Mounting and Placement

Freestanding with base plate or integrated with planters. Trees are anchored securely for high-traffic commercial environments.

Safety Certifications and Code Compliance

Commercial spaces require materials that meet strict fire and safety codes. PLANTWORKS® trees are available with inherently fire-retardant foliage that satisfies the most demanding jurisdictions.

Custom artificial trees

Steel-Core Engineering and Load Capacity

NATUREMAKER™ fabricated cat trees are built with the same steel-core engineering used across our commercial custom tree program.

These structures are designed for environments where animal weight, repeated climbing activity, and long-term public exposure all require real structural performance.

Our Process

How Your Project Works, Start to Finish

  • Consultation and Design

    Share your vision, space photos, or a rough sketch. Our design team provides species and sizing recommendations at no charge, with 3D renderings available for review.

  • Design Development

    We refine every detail collaboratively with your architect or designer. Samples, mockups, and as many iterative revisions as needed until the design is finalized.

  • Proposal and Approval

    You receive an itemized proposal with full scope, materials, timeline, and investment. Every project is custom quoted because every project is unique.

  • Production and Fabrication

    Trunk preservation, foliage crafting, and quality inspections happen at our California, Nevada, or Florida studios. Minimum three-month lead time from approval.

  • On-Site Assembly

    Our crews deliver and assemble your tree on-site with secure anchoring, finishing, and a quality verification walkthrough before handover.

  • Post-Assembly Support

    Maintenance guidance, touch-up kits, and cleaning recommendations are provided. Our team remains available for repairs and future projects.
