Product details & specifications
The Real Touch Artificial Phoenix Palm Tree UV Resistant at 180 centimetres presents the Phoenix palm — date palm — in a UV-certified specimen with enhanced Real Touch leaf texture at full feature-plant scale. The Phoenix palm is botanically distinctive: dramatic arching architectural fronds with a harder, more structured frond character than the soft arching Areca or Kentia alternatives. The Real Touch specification ensures the frond texture withstands close inspection at outdoor and indoor premium positions. UV-certified for direct Australian sun.
The Phoenix palm at 180cm with Real Touch leaf texture — UV-certified botanical drama at full outdoor scale. For outdoor hotel entrances, resort feature planting, and premium indoor positions where both UV performance and botanical tactile credibility are the specification.

Such a beautiful addition to my office space! The Artificial Ficus Tree looks nearly real—people can’t believe it’s not actual foliage. The 180cm height is just perfect for creating a statement piece in the corner of the room. The UV resistance is great because it’s exposed to a lot of sunlight, and it still looks fresh. The tree is also really stable and easy to move around. I’m so happy with this purchase—it adds a touch of nature without the hassle
I'd without a doubt suggest visiting this shop. Very satisfied with my beautiful, realistic-looking plants!
The plants fit in well with our alfresco decor. No more watering and fertilising. Yay!
They provide an amazing service. friendly staff.
Beautiful plants are abundant in the store, and once I feel comfortable with this one, I intend to purchase more. Very advisable:
They have the best products at a reasonable price, so I bought some artificial plants from them to decorate my home. Their customer service is outstanding, and the quality is excellent. Exceptional value for money. I will most certainly return.
Their artificial plants are of a very high calibre, and I am quite impressed. My backyard is now completely covered thanks to some wild tropical bushes I purchased. Fantastic staff and prompt delivery.
