Perfect alongside our artificial olive trees for a Mediterranean feel, these maintenance-free plants add a touch of elegance to any space.

Artificial Bay Trees: Your Complete Guide

Looking for elegant, maintenance-free greenery that adds instant kerb appeal? Our artificial bay trees blend seamless style with practical benefits, giving you beautiful year-round foliage without the upkeep of live plants.

Unlike real bay trees that need constant attention, our faux versions stand proud through all seasons. No more fretting about pests, diseases, or getting the watering just right. These UV-stable beauties keep their rich green colour even in direct sunlight, making them perfect partners for your outdoor spaces.

What sets our artificial bay trees apart is their attention to detail. Each one features authentic wooden stems paired with botanically accurate foliage - so convincing that even keen gardeners might need a second look! While other artificial trees like our artificial palm trees bring tropical vibes, bay trees offer classic Mediterranean elegance.

Our Range of Artificial Bay Trees

Want to create an impressive entrance? Our bestselling bay laurel tree comes with an expertly braided natural wooden trunk, complemented by rich green leaves and lifelike berries. For smaller spaces, consider our 70cm bay laurel bush ball - perfect when paired with other artificial flowering trees for varied visual interest.

Seeking something more traditional? Our bay cone adds sophisticated topiary style to any setting. It works beautifully alongside artificial bamboo trees for an eye-catching mix of formal and natural elements.

Setting Up Your Artificial Bay Tree

Fresh from the box, your bay tree might look a bit compressed - that's normal! Start at the bottom and gently work outward, spreading the stems until you achieve a natural, rounded shape. Then carefully open each leaf group. Give it a few days to settle, and any minor creases will naturally smooth out.

Like all our outdoor artificial trees, these come in starter pots ready for your chosen planter. For the best look and stability:

Choose a planter that complements your space (we'll suggest perfect matches when you order)
Add enough filler so the starter pot sits just below the planter's rim
Position your tree
Fill around with soil, sand, or decorative stones

Maintaining Your Bay Tree

While our large artificial bay trees need minimal care, a few simple steps keep them looking their best. Rotate outdoor trees occasionally for even weathering, and during severe weather, move them to shelter if possible. For trees with wooden elements, an annual coating of wood stain maintains their natural appearance.
