Outdoor Artificial Trees
An outdoor artificial tree earns its place in the spots where a real one will not cooperate: a paved courtyard with no soil, a roof terrace with a weight limit, a north-facing basement area that gets no sun, or a doorway where you want something green and formal all year without pruning it.
Every tree in this range is made with UV-resistant materials, which is the difference between a tree that stays green for years and one that turns yellow-grey over a single summer. That protection slows fading rather than stopping it, so a spot with some afternoon shade will always outlast one in full southern glare.
The practical consideration outdoors is almost always wind rather than weather. A tall tree in a light pot will go over in the first real gale, so either choose a heavy planter or weight the base with gravel or sand — see large floor-standing planters. Rain itself is not a problem; the trees shed it and clean themselves in the process. For smaller outdoor planting see UV-resistant outdoor plants.
