ABSTRACT:
A method of forming artificial vegetation, and products formed by the method. Foam particles are adhesively combined to form a cohesive mass. This mass may be placed in a mold cavity and dried to form a final product, such as an artificial bush, when removed from the mold. The cohesive mass may alternatively be dried and shredded to form members, each of which includes a plurality of the foam particles. These members may also be used as a final product, such as an artificial bush. The members may alternatively be fixed to the limbs of an artificial tree trunk to form an artificial tree. The artificial tree trunk may be molded of plastic into an intermediate form which is then bent to the final form. Solvent may be applied to the plastic tree trunk to make it tacky for application of the foam members.
