We are NatureMaker®. Not merely artificial trees, a NatureMaker tree is a bold synthesis of masterful engineering and one-of-a-kind nature tree sculpture. We prefer not to call these "fake trees" as they are life-size and true to the minutest detail of branch and bark. NatureMaker’s hand sculpted replica trees are the original and only “Steel Art Trees.” Whether a monumental banyan whose arching branches and spreading roots offer a nesting place for children’s imaginations in a library, or a six-story oak tree stimulating awe in a hotel lobby, or artificial palm trees in a large tropical atrium, NatureMaker trees have engendered an entirely new “experience” of Nature in exhibit design and themed environments.
