Product Insights
Simons Maison’s 70-inch artificial date palm offers a cost-effective alternative to premium contract-grade palms at $3.54 per inch, but this lower price comes from plastic foliage that lacks UV coating and the texture of polyester, requiring manual shaping of folded fronds, quarterly rotation, shelter from direct sun, and indoor storage during storms; the unweighted pot needs 2–4 lb of ballast or a $60–$400 decorative planter between 20–24 inches in diameter and 30–48 inches tall to prevent tipping outdoors, while routine dusting every 2–4 weeks and occasional deep cleaning with conditioning spray maintain its appearance.
Verified claims
- Frond shaping
- Fronds arrive folded flat; manual shaping required for realistic appearance.
- Anchoring method
- The unweighted plastic pot requires either 2–4 lb sand/gravel ballast or a heavy decorative planter to prevent tipping outdoors.
- Planter dimensions
- A 20–24-inch-diameter, 30–48-inch-tall planter is recommended for the 70-inch palm.
- Outdoor cost
- Total outdoor cost: $248 for the palm plus $60–$400 for a heavy planter.
- Color retention
- Plastic lacks UV coating; rotate quarterly and shelter to prevent fading.
- Stability
- Add ballast or a heavy planter to stabilize the 81 lb palm outdoors.
- Storm protection
- Bring indoors before severe storms or hail to avoid damage.
- Sizing
- Recommended planter diameter is 20–24 inches and height 30–48 inches.

Deep Research
What to expect during assembly and how to shape the palm
- The date palm's fronds are packed folded against the trunk for shipping, and releasing and individually fanning them out to mimic the natural Phoenix roebelenii silhouette is the single most important assembly step — the tree will look spindly and unnatural until each leaf is adjusted.
- Because the tree ships with a plain plastic pot, the buyer must add a decorative planter; choosing a heavy ceramic or concrete vessel not only conceals the utilitarian pot but also adds low-center-of-gravity ballast that works with the palm's 81‑lb mass to resist tipping in drafts or light wind — a more elegant solution than simply adding rocks to the plastic shell.
Cleaning and keeping the palm fresh over time
- For grime from kitchen or high-traffic areas, a microfiber cloth dampened with a mild dish soap and water solution safely removes oily film from the plastic fronds without the risk of color stripping that harsh formulated cleaners can cause.
- The palm's all-plastic construction and outdoor suitability allow for a gentle garden-hose rinse on a soft spray setting to wash away pollen and debris, provided the spray avoids flooding the pot base and causing internal moisture issues.
- Rotating the pot a quarter turn every couple of months prevents the sun-facing fronds from fading noticeably faster than the shaded side, an even-aging trick recommended for artificial palms to keep their green uniform over time.
- Rather than wiping each thin leaflet, a cool-setting hairdryer or compressed air reaches every frond and crevice simultaneously, matching the go-to method for tall intricate trees where manual cleaning is impractical.
- The hundreds of narrow Phoenix roebelenii leaflets act as dust collectors; a light feather-duster pass every two weeks — the minimum recommended frequency for artificial plants in dusty spaces — stops accumulation that dulls the green and demands a labor-intensive wet wipe later.
- Using a clean microfiber cloth for any damp cleaning avoids the tiny paper-towel lint that lodges in the palm's textured leaf edges, while the cloth's electrostatic properties lift dry dust more efficiently from plastic than paper.
- Applying an artificial-plant conditioning spray after a deep clean restores the frond's waxy sheen and deposits a light dust-repellent layer that can extend the interval between dustings from two weeks to a month or more, a time-saver for a plant of this expansive leaf area.
Choosing a decorative planter and ensuring it stays upright
- Proportion guidelines call for a planter height of 30–48 inches for a 5–8 foot artificial tree, a striking vertical statement at the upper end that fully conceals the nursery pot and gives museum-scale presence; a more residential-friendly 24-inch planter still anchors the palm confidently without dominating the floor space.
- Industry sizing tables for 5–8 foot artificial trees specify a decorative planter diameter of 20–24 inches; for this 70-inch palm with its 28-inch canopy, that range provides enough footprint to prevent the top-heavy look that instantly undermines realism, while still letting the fronds overhang gracefully.
- Professional installers routinely add 2–4 pounds of sand or gravel to the bottom of a decorative planter before inserting the nursery pot; for a 70-inch palm whose 81 lb mass sits high, this small bottom layer drops the center of gravity enough to prevent the slow lean and eventual tip that can happen when the plant is bumped or catches wind.
- Concrete planters rate ‘excellent’ for weather resistance and offer the highest stability material class for large artificial trees, typically costing $60–$400; for an 81 lb date palm placed outdoors, concrete’s mass alone can function as the counterweight, reducing or eliminating the need for added sand or stones inside the planter.
How it compares to similar large palms on price and realism
- A per-inch breakdown reveals this palm costs about $3.54 CAD per inch of height, while Faux Natural's 4.9-foot and 8.9-foot models exceed $8 USD and $11 USD per inch respectively — a stark price scaling that positions the Simons tree as an entry-level giant.
- While premium artificial date palms like Autograph Foliages' 6-foot model use polyester leaves and a synthetic resin trunk for finer texture, the Simons tree's plastic construction keeps production costs down, resulting in a more accessible price point at the expense of some tactile realism.
- At $248 CAD and 70 inches tall, this Simons date palm outstrips the $490 USD, 59-inch entry-level Faux Natural date palm by 11 inches of height for a significantly lower price, making it a compelling value pick for those prioritizing scale over advanced UV-stabilized materials.
- Unlike dedicated commercial foliage brands such as Faux Natural, whose products are marketed for high-traffic hospitality settings, this palm is sold by Simons Maison, a general home-and-fashion retailer — signaling a product designed for style-forward residential interiors rather than the demands of commercial contracts.
How to keep it looking good outdoors
- Rotating the pot a quarter turn every few weeks prevents one side from taking the brunt of daily sun, so the green canopy fades evenly rather than developing a visibly bleached face — a routine that costs nothing and keeps the palm looking natural from every angle.
- Moving the palm indoors or to a garage during severe storms, high winds, or hail eliminates the risk of torn leaves, snapped fronds, or blown-over damage that can crack the plastic stem — a few minutes of preventive moving can save the plant from permanent creases or structural failure that no spray can fix.
- Positioning the palm under a patio cover, veranda, or canopy instead of full-sun exposure significantly reduces daily UV load, which is the primary cause of color fading — even periodic shade during midday hours can multiply the plant's outdoor color retention by years.

Q&A
2 answered- Is the plastic UV-resistant to prevent fading and cracking when used outdoors in direct sunlight?
- The plant is described as suitable for outdoor use, but there is no mention of UV-resistant treatment on the plastic. Without explicit UV protection, prolonged direct sunlight may cause fading over time.
- Is the pot weighted or does the plant need additional anchoring to stay upright in windy conditions outdoors?
- The plant weighs 81 lb, which provides significant stability, but the plastic pot is not weighted. For outdoor use in windy conditions, we recommend adding sand or stones to the pot for extra anchoring.
