Tall Silk Tree Suggestions for Men

Silk Palm Trees
With so many trees to choose from, how does one determine which would be considered more masculine.  I guess we can look to Hollywood from an answer.  Remember the movies with the half dressed muscular men under lush palm trees surrounded by beautiful voluptuous women peeling grapes and serving food and drinks while dancing to suggestive music.  Now there’s a good place to start.  But to have lush, full palm trees like those, one would have to have a large space to start with.  Silk Areca palm trees can be found in a variety of sizes if that’s the look you wish to achieve.

However, if your space isn’t quite so large but you would like to add a tall green palm, you may want to consider Robellini silk palm trees.  This tree oozes masculinity!  Standing tall and somewhat narrower than the Areca palm tree, the Robellini palm has strong striking trunks with bark that looks like it was just baked in the heat of the tropical jungle.  A Robellini works great in narrow corners, with dark green leaf branches that appear ready to sway in the breeze.

Silk Plants and Trees for His Space

Silk PlantsTo a man there is nothing like the sanctuary of the man space, the den, the bachelor pad, the sports room.  No matter what he calls it, it’s the place where he goes to retreat.  Often, when we think of a retreat, we think of a relaxing place. A retreat can be a place to meditate, withdraw, study or have some me time either alone or with those you share something in common.

A man’s space should include some of his favorite memorabilia, large sturdy, comfortable furniture, and yes, plants and trees.  Of course, all man space may not have the windows needed to sustain live plant life, so this where silk plants and trees come into the picture.  And even though men may not realize it, green grass, trees, bushes are what they like so much about the back yard when the weather permits.  Many sports are played on live or artificial grass, so why not bring some of your favorite outdoors, indoors to that special space.  If you have a large room with high ceilings, look at some of the tall, full silk trees, like palm trees or bamboo trees.  If your space is smaller, there are silk trees and floor plants to meet any need.  And because they don’t require soil or water, you can consider using some of your memorabilia as planters.

Remove Stress From His Office

He’s been working a lot of long, stressful hours at the office lately and you want to show your love and support.  After all, he is doing this to accomplish his career goals and provide the best for his family. In addition to the special late evening dinners and conversation you would like to do something to bring peace, harmony and balance to his work environment.  He already has an iPod full of his favorite music, but you’d like to surround him with a sense of calm.
How about a few silk bonsai trees for his office!   In fact, bonsai trees are considered very masculine, because they are symbolic of strength.  The presence of bonsai trees creates a peaceful and relaxing environment.  They provide a natural form of stress relief and a feeling of serenity and balance that we all need in our daily lives.  Because they are small, they don’t require a lot of space.  Center him with the quiet peaceful beauty of a silk bonsai tree for his desk, bookshelf and window ledge.  Don’t forget, he still has to deal with the evening commute home.

Something You Should Know About Silk Orchids


It has been determined that many people agree that orchids are the most beautiful flowers available.  Orchids are so beautiful, they demand attention and are even noticed by even the most unobservant people.  It really doesn’t matter if the orchids are potted or arranged in a vase, their regal beauty adds charm and elegance to any space.  Orchids are a favorite for weddings and christenings as well as many other special occasions.  However, live cut orchids tend to wilt and die before their full bloomed splendor can be thoroughly enjoyed. 
Just recently, the demand for artificial orchids has increased.  With that rise in popularity, manufacturers have found that the Phalaenopsis and Cymbidium orchids are the most sought after.  That could be because they are the most popular live orchids.  Also in high demand are the Dendrobium and Vanda silk orchids.  More brides are using silk orchids in their bouquets and for wedding decorations because they are available in so many natural colors and vibrant shades and will compliment any color scheme.

Palm Tree Sizes and Purposes

Palm Tree Sizes and Purposes

Let me make one thing clear, the silk palm trees referenced as the most popular in this blog series will be the ones available on my website of course.  Any others mentioned are just as a matter of reference. With that being said, let’s get started with identifying the best size palm or palms for your specific needs.  Oh, by-the-way, if you notice that I make reference to every palm tree as my favorite, that’s because I love palm trees.  Today, let’s look at what sizes are available and their general uses.
The smaller artificial palm trees available today are typically used for tabletops, pedestals, or stands, in other words, you’ll sit them on something.  These palm trees are usually less than 2 feet tall.  Floor plants are usually 2 to 4 feet tall and work well on a table, in an entryway or reception area that has a limited amount of space, this too, will depend on the type of palm chosen.   Now for the trees, oh the trees, start at 5 feet tall and depending on the species, it can be tall and narrow or tall and lush.  Of course, you will find more choices available in trees than plants.  These are just guidelines, however depending on the impact you’d like to make, you can select an array of sizes and place them wherever you feel necessary to meet your needs.  The smaller tabletop palms can be strategically placed around a room or area to blend and mingle with the floor plants and trees.  Don’t’ forget to team your selection with decorative planters to complete the presentation.
