When it comes to the viral Costco olive tree—yes, the one that costs a whopping $500 and has racked up millions of views on TikTok—you either get the hype or you don't. Personally, we can see why folks are going wild for the chic tree, but at that price? Woof! We know how hard it is to find a realistic-looking plant for anything less than Pottery Barn prices, but that hasn't stopped us from searching for a diamond (uh, faux tree) in the rough. And we've officially found one. Enter: The Nearly Natural artificial olive tree, an alternative to the Costco version that isn't just better for small spaces, but more importantly, also way more affordable—especially now that it's on sale for just $80 (was $127)!

Yes, that's a significant price difference, and if you ask us, Nearly Natural's slightly smaller faux olive tree is the *best choice* for anyone living in an apartment or a small home. Here's why: At 20 inches wide and 72 inches tall (compared to Costco's 52.9 inches wide and 95.9 inches tall), the Nearly Natural tree will provide the same earthy vibe in your room, while taking up the least amount of space. Plus, the plastic beauty features faux olive accents and lifelike, bendable branches—it even comes in its own decorative pot. The icing on the cake (well, olive tree), however, is the fact that you'll never have to water it. Finally, a beautiful plant that's *impossible* to kill.
