Olive foliage is silver-green rather than emerald, and that is why it works in rooms where a darker plant would look heavy. Against white or chalky walls it reads Mediterranean; against warm greys it just reads calm. This is the five-foot size on a natural trunk with fruits among the leaves, supplied with a tall white planter so nothing else needs buying, and it needs no watering, sun, pruning or feeding to keep looking the same in year four as it did on day one.

How it lives in the room

Put it against pale

Silver-green foliage disappears against a dark or heavily patterned wall. A plain light background is what makes the leaf colour legible and is the difference between a decorative tree and a shape in the corner.

Fan, do not fluff

Spread branches outward and slightly downward in three layers rather than pulling everything into a ball. Olive canopies are wider than they are dense.

Seasonal reset

Twice a year, dust it and re-open whatever has been pushed in by passing traffic. That is the entire maintenance programme, and skipping it is what makes a faux tree slowly look tired.

Before you order

The included planter is white and plain by design so it disappears. If your room wants a feature pot, budget for a cachepot with at least an eight-inch internal diameter to drop it into.
