Palm types in the range
- Areca: feathery, multi-stem fronds from a 50cm mini to 180cm, including the 130cm extra-large areca. The widest choice of heights.
- Kentia: taller, arching fronds at 120cm, 130cm and 150cm, such as the 120cm kentia, a more formal look for receptions and lobbies.
- Fan, raphis and princess palms: broad fan leaves at 90cm and 120cm; raphis at 100cm and 125cm; princess palms with a natural trunk at 100cm and 130cm.
- Cycas: low, spreading palms from 60cm to 120cm for planters and floor-level groups.
- Traveller and banana palms: large paddle leaves, up to the 200cm traveller palm and a 180cm banana tree.
- Yucca, dracaena and other exotics: spiky, upright shapes including a 170cm triple yucca and 180cm dracaena, plus jade, sansevieria, agave, croton and mango trees.
Spread matters as much as height
Palms spread wide. Many lines between 120cm and 180cm are 70cm to 120cm across, so check the width column against the floor space, especially in corridors and beside doors. Where space is tight, yuccas and dracaena give height with a narrower footprint: the 170cm triple yucca is about 40cm wide. Budget for decorative planters from large planters, as most palms arrive in plastic weighted pots.
Outdoor and poolside positions
Eleven lines are UV-stabilised, including areca, raphis and cycas palms, traveller banana palms and yuccas. UV-stabilised lines contain UV inhibitors that slow colour fade in bright and outdoor positions. All artificial foliage fades gradually in prolonged direct sun; UV-stabilised stock fades far more slowly than untreated stock. We don't publish a lifespan. Only use UV-flagged lines outdoors; filter by the UV flag or see UV-resistant plants.
Taller and fire-retardant palms
Some palms sit in the wider tree range rather than this collection: fire-retardant areca and phoenix palms at 210cm (see fire-retardant trees and the fire-retardant hub), and the 260cm XXL coco palm on the large trees by height page. Keep all palms clear of heaters, candles and naked flames.

Frequently asked questions
Should I choose an areca or a kentia palm?
Areca palms have feathery, multi-stem fronds and come in the widest range of heights, from 50cm to 180cm, so they suit mixed groups and repeat orders across sizes. Kentia palms have longer, arching fronds on a more upright habit, and give a more formal look in receptions and lobbies. Compare widths in the table, as both spread generously.
Which artificial palms can go outside?
Only the eleven UV-flagged lines, which include areca, raphis and cycas palms, traveller banana palms and yuccas. They contain UV inhibitors that slow colour fade, though all artificial foliage fades gradually in prolonged direct sun and we don't publish a lifespan. Outdoors, set the weighted pot in a heavier planter with ballast.
How much floor space does an artificial palm need?
Check the width column rather than guessing from height. Many palms between 120cm and 180cm are 70cm to 120cm across, and large banana and traveller palms spread further. Allow for fronds overhanging walkways and door swings. If space is narrow, yuccas and dracaena give similar height in a much smaller footprint.
Do you stock fire-retardant palm trees?
Yes. A 210cm areca palm and a 210cm phoenix palm with a natural trunk are fire-retardant, made from fully tested fire-retardant material. They sit in the wider fire-retardant tree range rather than this collection. Test reports are available to trade customers on request, and your venue's fire risk assessment decides what is acceptable in each location.
What is the tallest artificial palm?
In this collection the tallest is a 200cm traveller palm. Across the whole tree range, the tallest is a 260cm XXL coco palm, and there are 210cm areca, phoenix and spiny date palms. The large trees by height page lists every tree from 120cm upwards with live stock, so you can compare them together.
