Our whole range of outdoor artificial topiary trees is UV resistant which extends their lifespan outside. However, there’s still a couple of things you can do to ensure your new tree has a happy and long life. If your tree is potted, rotate it from time to time to ensure any weathering happens evenly. During extreme weather like high winds or prolonged rainfall, try to protect your topiary. This can be moving it indoors or to a sheltered area or protecting it if it can’t be moved. The other, which applies to natural wood topiary trees, is to apply stain to the base of the tree on an annual basis. For more information, check out our guide to caring for outdoor trees.
