Faux olive trees from tall statement pieces to smaller potted designs, with silver-green foliage, olive clusters and twisted characterful trunks. The trunk is where most artificial olive trees fail: a straight or uniformly tapered stem reads as manufactured rather than grown. Real olive leaves are two-tone, darker above and paler silver beneath, and that dusty quality is what catches the light convincingly. Get the planter right too, at roughly a third of the total height, with decorative moss over the base. A faux olive tree works in a windowless hallway where a real one would be dead by March. Style in a basket or a pot.
