Blow them up and you have a realistic back yard palm tree decoration. They are used for theme garden parties or pool cocktail parties. They are even seen in artificial wave pools at theme parks. Here they add a beach-like ambience, as well as a holiday mood.

Inflatable palm trees are 6 feet to 35 feet tall when fully inflated, and they can be compressed down to one cubic foot for storage. They are usually made of nylon, plastic or rubber. Some contain heavy-duty lights and fans that are fitted inside, and most come with stands and stakes to secure them in place.
