Christow artificial bay tree with a twisted wooden trunk (single, 120cm)

Description

A twisted wooden trunk is the lovely finishing detail on this Christow bay tree. It gives the plant a character that works well with old brick, terracotta and painted garden furniture, while the rounded head of green foliage provides the familiar shape of a carefully trained bay. This option contains one 120cm tree, ready to become a focal point in a hallway or garden corner.

Natural wood beneath a leafy crown

The double-twisted trunk is made from real wood, so its colour and markings can vary slightly. That variation is part of the appeal: the stem has a more individual appearance than a perfectly uniform moulded trunk. Above it, 741 polyester leaves create the leafy crown, with brown and black decorative berries tucked among the greenery.

The tree is approximately 120cm tall overall, with an indicated spread of around 46cm once arranged. Its proportions suit a position where a lower shrub might disappear behind a chair or planter. The clear stem leaves some open space underneath the crown, which helps it feel less bulky than a cone-shaped tree of similar height.

Give the branches a little attention

The leaves and bendable branches may arrive pressed together. Spend a few minutes opening them gradually, straightening creased leaves and spreading the crown into a rounded shape. Working around the whole tree rather than concentrating only on the front gives a more balanced result.

Customers are often pleasantly surprised by the finished appearance, particularly the trunk and the fullness of the foliage. The customer photograph shows an individual tree from a matching set in a real home, giving a useful view of the leaf texture and stem. This selected option is supplied as a single tree; other sizes and pack quantities are also available.

Choosing a home for your bay tree

A concrete-weighted nursery pot supports the tree, and faux moss disguises the surface around the trunk. Indoors, the simple base can sit inside a decorative container that complements the room. A woven outer basket produces a relaxed look, while a glazed pot feels more traditional.

For outdoor use, place the tree in a larger pot or planter for added stability. Apply an appropriate UV-protective spray to the leaves, following the spray's instructions, to help protect their colour in sunlight. The tree is an easy alternative to living bay, but thoughtful positioning and protection still help preserve its appearance.

Routine care is straightforward: gently remove dust with a dry microfibre cloth and check that the branches remain evenly arranged. There is no watering, feeding or clipping to remember. The result is a classic bay-tree silhouette with a particularly attractive trunk, suited to anyone who wants greenery with structure and a little natural warmth.
