You don’t have to ask an interior designer what they think is the hottest faux plant for decorating your home, just scroll through your Instagram or TikTok feed and you’ll find artificial olive trees trending all over. In fact, part of the reason this faux plant is so beloved is because the real thing is notoriously fickle, extremely easy to kill, and takes two to three years to actually produce olives, whereas the artificial version is much more low-maintenance. Of course, while a fake Olea europaea won’t give you real, edible olives—ever—they give off pretty much the same design effect as the real thing and are perfect for spaces that lack natural light.

However, if you’ve already been looking to add a faux olive tree to your plant collection, then you already know just how pricey these synthetic shrubs are. It can be difficult to find a well-sized tree for less than $150 and downright impossible to find one for $100 or under. But luckily, we rose to the occasion and after much research, discovered 9 incredible artificial olive trees—all for less than $75.

Keep reading for our top fake olive tree picks that will never turn brown, lose leaves, or die, with prices starting at only $24.

Dr. Planzen 4-Foot Artificial Olive Plant

By far and away the best price we’ve found for a 4-foot artificial olive tree, this Walmart exclusive is currently 50 percent off. Each branch is made from realistic-looking silk, with a plastic pot and natural yellow cattle wood trunk that helps make the other components look as real as possible, too. Despite the fact that the plant comes with a bottom pot, the tree is actually meant to be “repotted” into a bigger container to better balance out the 5-pound tree.

Bellacat 6-Foot Faux Olive Tree

This 6-foot Amazon option includes olives of three different shades and extra-long stems that help give it a more authentic look. The branches can also be adjusted, so you can shape it according to the space you put it in. One satisfied shopper wrote that they loved the “great quality,” noting that “it looks real” and “the textures feel legitimate.” They continued, “I was surprised how good the quality was for the price.” At almost 10 pounds, this faux tree has a bit more weight to it, and like many of the others on this list, it’s meant to be moved into a larger pot for the best display.

Kazeila Artificial 6-Foot Tall Olive Tree

With more than 3,000 bought in the past month, this Amazon best-seller has over 1,600 five-star ratings from customers who love how “lightweight,” “sturdy,” and easy the tree is to assemble. There are just two pieces that need to be put together sans tools. It’s good enough to use for professional purposes too, according to one five-star reviewer. “I use them in my home and in my home staging business,” they said, adding that they “get a ton of compliments on them” and “can’t believe how affordable” they are. 

Howngyesimu 6-Foot Artificial Olive Tree

Unlike others on this list, this artificial olive plant comes with a small amount of grassy moss around the wood tree base to create a more lifelike quality. At 71 inches tall, the branches and leaves are very full toward the top of the tree, and there are plenty of “ripe” olives poking out through the well-concentrated brush. 

Shoppers confirm that it truly looks real, with one calling this find a “good size” and “good looking,” further mentioning that it “brings a natural feel to the home.” So natural that they said when friends visit, it often gets mistaken for a tree that looks “too real.”

Viagdo 4.6-Foot Artificial Olive Tree

The single trunk on this 4.6-foot artificial tree splits into several authentic-looking stems and the more than 624 olive leaves give it the appearance of not only being real, but like it’s still growing. At just 5 pounds, the fake olive tree comes in a 4.5-by-5-inch pot that can be swapped out for a more aesthetic one. “The size and shape of this tree is perfect” and “just what I was looking for,” wrote one shopper who gave it five stars. “It’s a great compliment to any decor.” Upon arrival, the plant may be a bit compressed, so make sure to take time to “fluff” out the branches for the most authentic look.

Oxllxo 72-Inch Artificial Olive Tree

Another lifelike and affordable 6-footer, this faux olive tree has a very well-kempt structure, as if it has been pruned often. One reviewer wrote that they “have had people think it was real till they got very up close” and “even had someone take an olive off.” They continued that it “looks great, especially in the canvas planter bag” it comes with.

It weighs under 13 pounds, which gives it the weight and feel of a real tree this size, and most of the weight is in the sturdy, cement base to prevent it from falling over. It’s also completely flame-retardant, so you can rest assured your home will be safe. The branches’ interiors are outfitted with metal wires, which work similarly to floral wire, so you can adjust the individual branch  shapes however you prefer.

Tonahutu 4-Foot Fake Olive Plant

Featuring the lifelike trifecta of faux moss, silk leaves, and fruit, this 48-inch tall plant uses durable iron wire to keep its shape for long-lasting decor that gets you your money’s worth. In fact, the iron-outfitted leaves are strong enough that you could easily add some string or fairy lights to the branches without weighing them down too much. Its trunk is also made of natural wood, and the entire thing is simple enough to wipe clean.

“Gorgeous,” said one shopper who self-described themselves as someone who does “not have a green thumb.” They originally purchased the fake olive plant “to add some foliage and greenery to my home,” and now “so many ask me if it is real or not.” After seeing it and having it for themself, the reviewer added, “I would strongly recommend for the person wanting to add a little something and not have to actually take care of it.” Plus, “it is easy to clean.”

Besamenature 14-Inch Tall Artificial Olive Tree

If it’s a tabletop olive tree you’re looking for in lieu of a full-sized tree, this 14-inch option comes in a presentable pot that doesn’t need to be swapped out before placing it on an end table or countertop. This silk, barely 2-pound olive plant doesn’t require any assembly, and includes a base layer of rocks for an added touch of realism.

“You know how some artificial plants are [so] obviously fake that you shouldn’t put them anywhere around eye level?” one reviewer wrote, “fortunately, this is real enough to put on a counter or side table, even if people can see it well.” They added that they use it “as part of a kitchen counter tableau” and “love the white porcelain pot, too.”

Yoleo 4-Foot Artificial Olive Tree

With the available 20 percent-off coupon, you can grab this 4-footer for only $32 and reap its aesthetically-pleasing benefits for years to come. Both the trunks and leaves have easily maneuverable metal wire inside that lets you reshape it without breaking. Despite its size it is on the lighter side, weighing just over 8 pounds, and its smooth yet textured trunk is perhaps the most realistic one you’ll find.

One five-star reviewer said they were “absolutely enchanted by the exquisite craftsmanship and lifelike beauty,” of this tree, calling it “stunning” and “effortless” at transforming their “living space into a haven of nature-inspired elegance.” They continued, “The attention to detail in the construction of this artificial olive tree is truly commendable” and noted its “durability,” “lush green leaves, and robust trunks.”
