ABSTRACT:
An artificial tree suitable for interior or exterior use capable of being formed in a variety of possible configurations simulative of a natural palm tree. The artificial tree has a body consisting of a trunk with one or more branch segments joined thereto, a plurality of leaf assemblies joined to the upper end of each branch segment, and a base for retaining ballast material capable of supporting the tree in a generally upright orientation. To enhance the appearance and stability of the tree, triangularly shaped trunk support members may be attached to the lower end of the trunk. Similarly, simulative decaying fronds joined to the upper end of each branch segment enhance appearance. Leaf assemblies having nested leaves of metallic sheet material provide shade. The base, having attached seat members, permits users to sit comfortably beneath the shade provided by the instant tree.
