# How to Make a Fake Palm Tree
It would be nice if we could all live on a sunny island where we could sip on coconut drinks and lay under the shade of beautiful palm trees all day. Unfortunately, not everyone gets the pleasure of living in paradise. However, you can decorate like you do. If you want to build a paradise in your own yard or even in a room in your home, you are going to need a palm tree. Real palm trees do not grow in all climates and they can be tricky to grow indoors, so why not just go faux?
