This one is sold deliberately unfinished at the bottom. It arrives in a plain base pot rather than a decorative one, on the assumption that you already know what container the room wants — a woven basket, a glazed pot, a concrete cylinder — and would rather choose it than inherit it. Above the pot it is the full article: real wooden trunk, silk leaves, olives in more than one stage of ripeness, tall and slender in profile. Set up is simply a matter of shaping the branches.

How it lives in the room

Measure before you buy the pot

Take the width and the height of the base pot, then choose a cachepot with a little clearance on the diameter and a rim at or just below the top of the nursery pot. Too tall a cachepot swallows the trunk and the proportion goes wrong.

Pack the gap

Once the tree is inside, wedge the gap with crumpled paper or foam and top with moss or pebbles. That is what stops the tree rotating out of position and hides the plastic rim in one move.

Shape after potting

Set the branches only once the tree is at final height in its final container. Shaping it in the nursery pot and then lifting it two inches changes every angle you just decided on.

Before you order

Expect a scattering of loose leaves in the carton — a wood-trunk tree cannot be packed as tightly as a moulded one. Push the stems back into the branch sockets and keep the rest as spares.
