Our Best-Selling Artificial Trees and Planters: A Guide for Homes and Trade

The right artificial tree can change the feeling of a room, entrance or outdoor seating area. It adds height, colour and character without the regular watering and pruning that living planting requires. Pair it with a thoughtfully chosen planter, and a plain corner becomes a welcoming feature.

At Just Artificial, we help home décor shoppers, interior designers, architects, visual merchandisers, set dressers and hospitality professionals find planting that suits their space. From sculptural topiary to tall, natural-looking foliage, our collection offers inspiration for individual purchases and larger commercial projects alike.

This guide highlights some of our best-selling artificial trees and planters, based on net units sold across the tree categories reviewed and our planter category between 16 October 2025 and 15 October 2026. You will also find advice on UV-protected ranges, specifying certificated fire-retardant foliage, requesting trade quotes and developing bespoke projects.

Why choose artificial trees and decorative planters?

Artificial planting gives you control over the look of your space. You can introduce greenery where maintaining live plants would be difficult, create matching displays across several locations or keep a carefully planned interior looking consistent throughout the seasons.

It is particularly useful when you want visual impact without organising watering schedules. A tree can soften a reception desk, frame a seating area or bring interest to an unused corner. In a home, it can provide a finishing touch beside a sofa or beneath a high ceiling.

The planter matters just as much. Natural wicker textures create warmth, while clean-lined composite designs suit contemporary interiors and outdoor schemes where the product is specified for that use. Start by browsing our artificial trees, then consider the shape, finish and scale of the container alongside the foliage.

Artificial Topiary Boxwood Triple Ball Tree UV: structured greenery

Our Artificial Topiary Boxwood Triple Ball Tree UV led the tree products in the sales categories reviewed. Its three rounded foliage sections create a distinctive silhouette, making it an appealing choice when you want a neat, architectural planting style.

The product combines realistic plastic foliage with natural wood stems and is available in listed heights of 120cm, 150cm and 180cm. It is part of our UV range and is described as suitable for outdoor use, making it worth considering for entrance displays, patios and commercial exterior schemes.

Try a matching pair to frame a doorway, or repeat the same tree and planter combination along a frontage. Before ordering, check the width of your chosen size and allow enough space for the foliage as well as the container. For an exposed position, discuss suitable securing arrangements rather than relying on the decorative planter alone.

Artificial Silk Elm Tree: height and an airy silhouette

For interiors that need a taller focal point, our Artificial Silk Elm Tree offers an elegant alternative to dense topiary. Listed at 240cm, it combines silk leaves with a wooden stem and comes in a black plastic carriage pot.

Its open branching structure gives it an airy appearance. Consider it beside a generous seating arrangement, within a spacious reception area or in a room where smaller accessories would look lost. The foliage adds detail while leaving glimpses of the background visible through the canopy.

Measure ceiling height carefully and think about the complete display, including any elevation created by a decorative container. Also check the route into the room. Doorways, stairs and lifts can matter just as much as the final position when choosing a large artificial tree.

Artificial Silk Heliconia Palm Tree FR: tropical character

Our Artificial Silk Heliconia Palm Tree FR brings a different mood to a planting scheme. Broad green leaves and tropical flower details make it a natural design choice for vibrant hospitality interiors, themed spaces and welcoming reception areas.

The listed height is 170cm, with an approximate dressed width of 110cm at its widest point. That spread is important: give the leaves room to make an impact without crowding furniture or circulation routes. A simple planter can help keep attention on the foliage.

This product is identified as part of our fire-retardant range. If your project requires certification, ask us to confirm the documentation available for the exact product before you specify it. Fire-retardant status and outdoor suitability are separate considerations, so do not assume an FR designation also means UV protection.

Artificial Silk Bucida Tree: versatile indoor styling

The Artificial Silk Bucida Tree is another strong seller for customers seeking natural-looking indoor greenery. It features silk leaves and a wooden stem, with listed height options of 150cm and 210cm.

Its branching shape works well as a softening element within an interior. Use it to balance angular furniture, bring interest to a quiet corner or add a botanical touch beside a lounge chair. Choosing between the two heights lets you adapt the overall effect to the proportions of your room.

For a coherent scheme, repeat a planter finish elsewhere rather than matching every tree exactly. A Bucida can sit comfortably alongside other foliage shapes when the containers share a colour or material. Check the product specification separately if your brief requires UV protection or fire-retardant properties.

Oxford Collection Planters: natural texture for interiors

The Oxford Collection Planters topped our planter sales by net units during the period reviewed. Made from rattan with a natural wicker finish, they introduce texture that complements leafy displays and relaxed interiors.

They are a particularly appealing styling option for spaces with timber, woven textiles and neutral upholstery. Think comfortable hotel lounges, informal meeting areas or a living room that needs a softer finishing touch. The collection is described for interior use.

Before combining an Oxford planter with a particular tree, compare the internal space with the tree's carriage pot. Product photographs provide inspiration, but do not assume every pictured plant is included. Check the selected option and product details so you know exactly what you are ordering.

Norfolk Chalk and Easington: contemporary planter choices

Our Norfolk Chalk Collection Planters were the next strongest planter seller in the period reviewed. The collection offers composite construction, five listed sizes and two colours, with suitability described for both indoor and outdoor settings.

This makes the range worth exploring when you want a coordinated look across different areas. Varying container sizes can add rhythm to a display, while a consistent finish keeps the scheme connected. Pairing them with structured topiary is one way to achieve a clean, contemporary effect.

The Easington Collection Planters also featured among our leading sellers. These lightweight composite pots are described for indoor and outdoor use and come in two colours. Their rounded forms offer a gentler alternative to strongly angular containers. Explore our wider planters and troughs collection to compare styles.

Choosing UV-protected artificial trees for outdoor spaces

When planning greenery for a terrace, courtyard or exterior entrance, choose products specifically described for the intended location. An indoor artificial tree should not be treated as an outdoor product simply because it looks suitable in a photograph.

Our UV Protected Plants collection is a useful starting point for sunlight-exposed displays. UV protection is intended to help foliage resist the effects of sunlight, but it should not be read as a promise that every product will remain unchanged indefinitely in every environment.

Consider the whole installation: the tree, planter, securing method, drainage and exposure to wind and weather. Ask about the exact product if you are planning a demanding location or a large commercial scheme. Choosing the correct specification from the outset is more useful than selecting on appearance alone.

Certificated fire-retardant foliage for commercial projects

For commercial planting, appearance may be only one part of the brief. Your venue or project team may require fire-retardant foliage and supporting certification. Raise those requirements at the enquiry stage so the proposed products can be checked against the specification.

Our large hand-built trees information describes fire-retardant foliage with British Standard certification. The relevant documentation should be confirmed for the particular foliage and construction being quoted.

Tell us which test standard or supporting paperwork your project requires.

Bespoke artificial trees designed around your project

Sometimes a standard tree cannot deliver the proportions your design needs. You may want a broad canopy above seating, a statement tree for a hotel entrance or a particular trunk shape for a set or retail installation.

Our bespoke hand-built trees can be developed around height, canopy width, shape and clearance requirements. Options described on our website include natural wood construction and fabricated trunks with a realistic bark appearance. Depending on the design, trees can be supplied in decorative containers, basic pots or on a metal base plate.

Share drawings, photographs and dimensions when you enquire. Include access restrictions, the proposed position and your preferred foliage style. Installation may be available depending on location and schedules, with quotes on request. Learn more about our commercial and bespoke artificial planting services.

Request a no-obligation trade quote

Planning a restaurant refresh, office scheme, event or multi-site project? We offer no-obligation quotes and can discuss trade discounts on bulk orders. Pricing depends on the products, quantities and project requirements, so contact us with your brief rather than assuming a fixed discount applies.

To help us prepare a useful response, include your preferred trees and planters, quantities, approximate budget, delivery location and target date. Flag any UV-protection or fire-certification requirements, along with bespoke dimensions and installation questions.

Whether you need one statement tree or a coordinated commercial planting scheme, we can help you explore the options. Contact Just Artificial, email sales@justartificial.co.uk or call 01524 963225 to discuss your project and request a tailored quote.
