The deco palm / artificial palm: Areca palm in approx. 400cm height
Our Areca palm tree at a height of 4.0m is a lavishly crafted conserved real leaf palm. It is refined by a special process of conservation and is made durable for an unlimited period.
This Areca splendid palm is characterized by its splendid and natural appearance and convinces by its high quality of workmanship. It is ideal for decorating business premises, shop windows, car showrooms, fitness centres and is a popular means of design in the catering, hotel and private sectors.
The Areca palm offered by us consists of a handmade coconut bark trunk and a dense leaf crown of at least 30 real preserved palm fronds. It is available in different sizes between approx. 2.00m to 3.50m total height! Total heights up to 3.00m are considered standard and are available from stock. The palms are robust, but only conditionally / temporarily suitable for outdoor use, nevertheless our palms are used by countless beach bars as decoration. However, please contact us on this subject, as any product guarantee / warranty and the right of return expires in case of outdoor use.
We are looking forward to your call.
Please note:
When dispatched, our palm trees are to be assembled on site by yourself. The assembly is simple and everyone succeeds. You can find an illustrated assembly instruction here: Assembly instructions The package consists of the trunk and separately the fronds. An assembly instruction is also enclosed with the shipment.
We send our palms without plant pots. Individual tastes as well as color wishes are very different and it is necessary to send a second package to each palm tree. But if you don't have your own solution yet, here you will find pots in anthracite.
No warranty / guarantee from us when using our products outdoors. Why?
Without care, our decorative palms, which are equipped with real, preserved palm fronds, will last indefinitely in protected rooms, but not outdoors. We also rent out our palms for open air festivals, street parties etc. However, this is only temporary and if no warnings of weather extremes are heard in advance.
Rain
When it rains, the palm fronds not only get wet, but also become heavier. Due to this increase in weight the palm fronds hang down sadly very quickly (
=> 
). This rapid increase in weight due to rainwater, especially in combination with wind, the palm fronds do not always withstand and in the worst case simply bend off.
Sun
Due to the sunlight our real leaf preserved palm fronds fade after some time. This process depends on the intensity and duration of the sunlight.
Living palms permanently renew their own natural protective layer against UV light. Like all other plants, they obtain the energy required for this process through photosynthesis. Since photosynthesis no longer takes place in our preserved palm fronds, this protective layer cannot be renewed.
For this reason the process of fading of the palm fronds depends on the individual location of our real leaf decopalms and cannot be estimated by us.
Wind
Outside our palms are exposed to the changing weather conditions. This also applies to the wind conditions at the respective installation site. For example, gusts of wind of a strength not to be underestimated can occur in the corners of houses and balconies or courtyards, which are considered to be rather protected.
Since our palm crowns are based on a plug system for the palm fronds (see assembly instructions) and a palm trunk that is hollow on the inside for weight reasons, our palms resist the local wind conditions only to a limited extent on the outside. The relatively low weight, even when using a plant pot filled with sand, does not withstand storms - which, as is well known, can uproot even living trees.
As a result, the artificial palm tree falls over. The palm fronds usually do not find the gravity-induced impact very pleasant and they like to hurt themselves, i.e. the tips fray out and in the worst case the fronds break through. In addition, the entire crown (hard foam ball with the palm fronds) can simply break off in stronger winds.
The palm fronds themselves also come loose from the hard foam ball attached to the tip of the trunk in strong or persistent winds. Through which they are again exposed to the gravity-conditioned landing with the above described consequences. With weak winds - often coming from the same direction - we also observed that the palm crown starts to rotate. In this easy to solve case, the palm crown has to be re-draped regularly.
You would like to use our palm trees outdoors anyway and at your own risk - What can you do?
General
In winter, decorative palms should have their sheltered place indoors, just like real, non-hardy plants. Unlike real palms, which have to be brought in in winter, they do not necessarily need a special location for our decorative palms. Our palms are easy to dismantle and fold up again and can be stored in a dry room to save space. In spring you simply put them back up again.
Sun
Against fading caused by UV radiation, we are currently testing the long-term effect of UV protection spray for our palm branches. As soon as we have found the right variant, we will add the appropriate one to our product range. Just have a look at our page again.
Until then, the only thing left to do is to regularly exchange palm fronds that have turned yellow for new ones. All palm leaves can be re-ordered at any time in the desired / required quantity at a reasonable price. At particularly sunny locations we calculate with an annual exchange. In the worst case after only one season. At shady locations we calculate with an exchange after about two years.
Rain & Wind
In order to keep wear and tear or damage caused by rain and wind as low as possible, we also offer our hard foam balls as palm heads with wire reinforcement. Here the hard foam ball is additionally reinforced with a wire mesh around the outside. This means that the hard foam ball itself does not break as quickly and the palm fronds are anchored more firmly by the wire mesh. The use of the hard foam ball reinforced with wire mesh is also suitable for frequent assembly and disassembly of the artificial palms, as the hard foam ball is subject to less wear. For this individual solution please contact us directly.
