ABSTRACT:
An illuminated artificial tree and its method of manufacture in which a plurality of branches extend from a trunk of the tree, each branch being formed by spirally winding a strip assembly of a plurality of juxtaposed fiber optic elements and simulated pine needles on an elongated support wire. The fiber optic elements and simulated pine needles extend around the wire in adjacent relation to provide an interspersed array of pine needles and fiber optic elements all along the length of the branch. The fiber optic elements are illuminated at the base of the tree to provide points of light substantially all around each branch along its entire length. A member of branches are assembled along the trunk from the top down.
