Preserved palm trees for commercial interiors
Preserved palm trees for hotels, malls and commercial interiors
Oakco supplies preserved Washingtonia fan palms and Phoenix date palms for hotels, malls, atriums, hospitality spaces and other interior landscape projects. Real palm bark, preserved foliage and project-specific sizing help create a lifelike palm feature without irrigation or routine plant care.
Product overview
Real-bark preserved palm trees for interior landscape projects
Preserved palm trees are suited to interior spaces where the visual impact of a mature palm is required without the irrigation, pruning and growing conditions associated with living plants.
Oakco builds the trunk around an internal steel structure, applies real palm bark to the exterior and pairs it with preserved palm foliage. Height, canopy proportion and foliage selection can be tailored to the available space, sightlines and installation conditions.
This preserved range is intended for indoor applications. Exterior projects should use an outdoor artificial palm solution designed for weather exposure.
Palm types
Washingtonia fan palms and Phoenix date palms
Two preserved palm styles give designers different canopy forms for hospitality, retail and commercial interior schemes.
Preserved Washingtonia palm
A strong vertical silhouette with broad radiating fronds, suited to atriums, hotel lobbies, mall interiors and other spaces that need a taller palm form.
Preserved Phoenix date palm
A fuller feathered foliage profile for hospitality interiors, themed commercial spaces and projects that call for a softer date-palm appearance.
Foliage and design options
Select the frond style, size and canopy proportion
Foliage selection affects the silhouette, canopy spread and close-range appearance of the finished preserved palm tree.
Washingtonia fan foliage
Broad fan-shaped fronds create the recognisable Washingtonia canopy used for tall interior palm features.
Foliage size selection
Frond size can be selected together with trunk height and canopy spread to suit the available interior space.
Preserved foliage options
Available foliage forms and tones can be selected to suit the palm style, visual density and project palette.
Construction and craftsmanship
Real palm bark over an engineered support structure
Large preserved palms need both close-range botanical detail and a secure internal build. Oakco combines hand-applied palm material with an internal steel structure and bolt-down base.
- Internal steel structure supports the trunk and canopy.
- Bolt-down steel base plate supports secure on-site installation.
- Real palm bark is applied over the supporting structure for a textured trunk finish.
- Tree height and overall proportion can be specified to suit the available project space.
