Fiore Trees™ are hand-forged, metal flower-basket trees inspired by Italian artistry. Each Fiore Tree™ is based on an all-original, patent-pending design, and is created here in the US by Italian-Americans.

Green is beautiful, but it’s not the only color Mother Nature paints with.  When you look out your window, would you like to see the same view many homeowners see – green trees and green grass – or a kaleidoscope of colors rarely seen outside an Italian village?

One Fiore Tree™ turns an ordinary hanging flower-basket into a garden in the sky, and can turn your one-color skyline into the stuff of postcards from Mediterranean retreats.

Though designed with an Old World Eye and crafted by Old World hands, a Fiore Tree™ brings new life, a new look, and new possibilities to your home.  Feast on photos, read on to discover more about Fiore Trees™, and contact us when you’ve picked your tree.

Look at the photos (above).  Bask in the colors of the flowers, and how they bring the rest of the yard to life.  Would you have guessed that those photos are of a property in Minnesota?  That’s what a Fiore Tree™ can do.

This is the Palumbo coat of arms. It can be seen on the grand pillars of St. Peter’s Basilica in Rome, which the Palumbo family helped build in the 14th Century.  That craftsmanship lives on today in Joseph Palumbo, the creator of Fiore Trees™. Let our Old World artistry add timeless beauty to your yard.

Fiore Trees can be displayed in your yard, or even inside of your home!

The One Problem with Flowers

You love flowers because you know they’ll add beauty to your home and yard.  Only one problem with flowers: they’re hidden most of the time.  They’re too low to the ground.  You need to walk around your property to admire them.  You know you’d get compliments on your flowers all the time, if only people could see your flowers. 

Would the blossoming cherry trees in Japan draw photographers and tourists from around the globe if the flowering buds were on the ground?  They’d look like pretty flowers, and not much more.

We marvel at flowers as they emerge from the brown dirt and grow into colors only Mother Nature can paint with.  They seem miraculous.  But they stop growing so soon.  Unlike the decades-old trees that overshadow them, flowers just don’t have enough time to grow as noticeable as trees.

What if your flowers could keep growing and reaching to the sky?

The One Problem with Your Yard (and Most Yards)

Your yard is pleasant to be in, and it’s pleasant to look at.  So are many of your neighbors’ yards.  You love your yard, and they love their yards.  The problem is they’re all similar, whereas you want yours to steal the show.  Your yard can’t steal the show if nothing in it makes everybody give it a second look and not be able to take their eyes off of it.

The Solution Comes to Us from Italy

When most people think of Italy they think of the magical scenery.  The geography is partly to thank, but Italy is a beautiful place also because of the way Italians bring nature into their villas.

In Florence flower pots are everywhere.  Florentines want their flowers to be seen and admired.  Flowers grow in big pots, small pots, pots on the ground, and pots on wrought-iron plant stands. Flowers spring from balconies, terraces, and fences.  Flowers line the cobblestone streets and even sit on the dinner table.  (Doesn’t the name Florence even sound like “flower”?)

The flowers in Firenza inspired me to create the Fiore Tree: a hand-forged steel tree with a canopy of flowers.  The Fiore Tree exists to show off your flowers, as is done in Italy.

The Flowers Steal the Show – But the Fiore Tree Is a Close Second

When you first see a Fiore Tree, your eyes go to the flowers, of course.  But if you can peel your eyes away, you’ll notice the artistry of the tree that holds up the flowers.  You might notice something that seems Italian about the Fiore Tree, but can’t put your finger on exactly what.

Just as the concept came from Italy, so does the Old World craftsmanship.

The makers are Italian.  Fiore Trees are designed by an Italian-American (Fiore Trees owner Joseph Palumbo) who’s spent much of his time in the Old Country, and they are made by hand by an Italian-American master metallurgist.

As with a wooden tree, no two Fiore Trees are exactly the same.  We don’t use lasers, robotic welding, or jigs.  We rely on an experienced hand.

We don’t use exact specifications.  We rely on the eyes, the soul, and memory.

We don’t churn out Fiore Trees quickly.  We work as slowly as we need to get each tree looking just right.  We agonize over every joint, bend, branch, and inch of “bark.”

In the Italian aesthetic, the artist’s painstaking detail is equaled only by the brightness of the art.  Fiore Trees are colorful – and showy in the very best way.  If you don’t want your yard to get more attention or you don’t want to respond to more compliments, Fiore Trees are not for you.

But if you want to create a tree species native only to your yard, if you want your villa to become known throughout the village for its “flowers in the sky,” then a Fiore Tree is for you.

A Fiore Tree for the Family

You want a Fiore Tree.  But like most things borne of Italian craftsmanship, a Fiore Tree isn’t cheap.  You may need to justify it to your spouse or others in your family.

We both know there’s value in making your yard beautiful – for you and for anyone who sees it.  But a Fiore Tree makes sense for many other reasons, too.  A few more reasons a Fiore Tree fits your family’s home:

• A Fiore Tree is a one-pot garden. You don’t need to rip up your whole yard to make a garden.

• It’s good for the environment – a home for birds and bees.

• You can hook up your Fiore Tree to your current irrigation system, and have the water flow through the tree trunk and nourish the canopy of flowers.

• A Fiore Tree won’t catch disease, topple over in the next storm, get chewed by rodents, or become infested with nasty bugs (requiring even-nastier chemicals to kill the bugs).

• A Fiore Tree requires little maintenance: just water, sunlight, and the amore of all who view it

• In the winter you can decorate it with lights, hollies, or wreaths.

• Your Fiore Tree will last forever, like the Roman aqueducts. It’s not just for you.  It’s for your family – and will be passed down for generations to come.  You can’t get much more Italian than that.

There’s a Fiore Tree for every villa, every yard, and every taste.
