Preserved Palm Trees for Commercial Spaces
International Greenscapes
TREESCAPES® preserved palms are made from real palm fronds treated with a proprietary preservation process. The natural cellular structure, translucency, and texture of living palms are maintained permanently. No watering, no replacements, no seasonal decline.
20,000+ projects completed across three decades of botanical craftsmanship.
How Preserved Palms Compare to Fabricated Palms
Preserved Palms: Real Fronds
Genuine palm fronds undergo a proprietary glycerin-based preservation process that replaces natural water while maintaining cellular structure. The result is authentic translucency, natural drape, and organic variation.
Fully Fabricated Palms: Engineered
Built from UV-resistant polymer materials for maximum durability. Best for full outdoor exposure, extreme weather, salt air, and high-traffic environments where preservation alone cannot withstand the conditions.
For projects requiring full outdoor durability, see our artificial palm trees built with UltraLeaf-X® UV-resistant foliage.
Where Preserved Palms Work Best
Resort Pool Decks and Terraces
Covered outdoor resort spaces gain tropical character without irrigation, soil runoff, or the maintenance costs of live palms.
Restaurant Interiors
Backlit preserved fronds add warmth and depth to dining rooms. No soil, no gnats, and no watering schedule to conflict with service hours.
Shopping Centers and Malls
Consistent beauty across high-traffic common areas without seasonal replanting or maintenance disruptions to retail tenants.
Hotel Lobbies and Corridors
Tropical atmosphere with no irrigation infrastructure, no dropped fronds, and no disruption for watering or plant replacement across guest areas.
Cruise Ship Atriums
Preserved palms withstand climate-controlled marine environments while meeting maritime fire safety codes and weight restrictions.
Casino Gaming Floors
Inherently fire-retardant materials meet strict gaming commission codes while delivering the lush aesthetic guests expect. No allergens, no pests.
Why Commercial Spaces Choose Preserved Palms
Zero Ongoing Maintenance
No watering, fertilizer, pruning, or pest control. Occasional dusting with compressed air keeps preserved palms looking new for decades.
Genuine Natural Materials
Real palm fronds retain their natural cellular structure, providing authentic translucency when backlit and organic variation that synthetics cannot match.
Inherently Fire-Retardant
IFR materials with NFPA 701 and ASTM E84 Class A certification. Fire protection is molecularly bonded and permanent, meeting codes for casinos and public assembly spaces.
Built to Last Decades
Consistent appearance over time with minimal upkeep. No seasonal decline, no replanting cycles, no color fading in controlled interior environments.
Eliminates Live Plant Costs
No irrigation infrastructure, no horticultural staff, no plant replacements. The total cost of ownership drops below live palms within a few years.
Non-Toxic and Allergen-Free
RoHS-compliant materials produce no allergens, no mold, and no pests. Low VOC emissions make them safe for healthcare, education, and food service settings.

Custom artificial trees
The TREESCAPES® Preservation Process
Living palm fronds from sustainable plantations undergo a proprietary process where natural water is systemically replaced with a glycerin-based preservative and dye solution. Cellular structure is maintained throughout, producing fronds that retain the appearance and feel of living palms.
- Natural cellular structure maintained throughout the preservation process
- Authentic translucency preserved for realistic backlighting effects
- Genuine tactile feel that distinguishes preserved palms from synthetic alternatives
- Organic variation and character retained from the original living fronds
- Sealed for long-term durability in climate-controlled commercial environments

-
Professional On-Site Assembly
Our assembly crews handle delivery, secure anchoring, canopy dressing, and a quality verification walkthrough with minimal disruption to your operations.
Common Questions About Preserved Palm Trees
Preserved palms use real palm fronds that have undergone a proprietary glycerin-based preservation process. The fronds retain their natural cellular structure, translucency, and texture. Fully fabricated palms are built entirely from synthetic polymer materials and are better suited for full outdoor exposure, extreme weather, or environments requiring maximum UV resistance. Preserved palms are the preferred choice for indoor and covered outdoor spaces where natural realism is the priority.
Occasional dusting with compressed air is typically all that is needed. No watering, no fertilizer, no pruning, and no pest control. TREESCAPES® provides touch-up kits and cleaning products for long-term care. Preserved palms maintain their appearance with almost no upkeep, making them a practical choice for commercial environments where live plant maintenance creates ongoing cost and disruption.
Yes. All TREESCAPES® preserved palms are available with inherently fire-retardant (IFR) materials. They are NFPA 701 compliant, ASTM E84 Class A rated, and California Title 19 certified. Fire protection is molecularly bonded into the material and cannot wash off or degrade over time. We provide stamped certifications and independent lab reports to support permitting and fire marshal approval.
Preserved palms perform well in covered outdoor environments such as resort pool decks, covered patios, and sheltered atriums. For full outdoor exposure to direct sun, wind, and weather, TREESCAPES® fully fabricated palms with UltraLeaf-X® UV-resistant foliage are the better option. Our team can recommend the right approach based on your specific environment during a complimentary consultation.
TREESCAPES® offers preserved Queen Palms, Coconut Palms, Date Palms, Phoenix Palms, and Areca Palms, along with custom palm varieties. Each tree is customizable in height, trunk style, frond count, and overall fullness. Standard preserved palms range from 12 to 20 feet in height, with custom sizes available for larger architectural volumes.
Preserved palms are designed to last decades with minimal maintenance. In controlled interior environments, they maintain consistent color, texture, and structural integrity over time. There is no seasonal decline, no replanting cycle, and no progressive degradation. TREESCAPES® also provides ongoing support including repair services and replacement components if needed.
Yes. TREESCAPES® collaborates closely with architects, interior designers, and design teams on commercial projects. We integrate with CAD drawings, coordinate with other trades, and provide engineering documentation for building departments. For projects near our showrooms in Las Vegas, Miami, or San Diego, we can arrange in-person visits where your team can see and touch materials firsthand.
