The height of the palm tree is made depending on the expected number of guests. For a small palm tree 60 cm high, you will need 3-4 small pineapples. This palm tree is designed for about 20 guests. For an average palm tree 1 m high (about 35 guests), you need 7-8 small pineapples or 5-6 large ones. And for a large palm tree 1.5 m high (for 60 guests) - 8 large pineapples. A palm tree made of fruits and pineapples is a beautiful and original holiday table decoration that you can make yourself. Pineapple palm will be a bright and refreshing addition to any festive sweet table. To make a fruit palm, you can use pineapple, kiwi, grapes, peach, tangerine, strawberry, banana. Dried fruits are also used: dried apricots, prunes, sometimes chewing marmalade is added to fruits. Making a pineapple palm tree will not take you much time. The main thing is to buy more fruits and come up with the basis for this exotic miracle.
How to make a fruit palm tree with your own hands? First you need to decide on the height of the palm tree. For a small palm tree 60 cm high, you will need 3-4 small pineapples. This palm tree is designed for about 20 guests. For an average palm tree 1 m high (about 35 guests), you need 7-8 small pineapples or 5-6 large ones. And for a large palm tree 1.5 m high (for 60 guests) - 8 large pineapples. To make a fruit palm tree, you need to make a stand and attach a rod of the required height to it. It is better to use a stainless steel rod. Pineapples will be strung on this rod. The stand for the pineapple palm should be heavy and stable (for a large palm - wider) so that the palm does not stagger or turn over. On the stand, small bumpers should be made along the edges, as juice can drain from the fruit. Having made such a base once, you can use it repeatedly.
When choosing pineapples, it is advisable to check their height. It is worth considering such a detail: the height of all pineapples together should be slightly larger than the height of the rod. Since the last (top) pineapple will not be strung completely, but somewhere a little more than to the middle, and a green tail will remain on top. It is better to choose softer and riper pineapples, so that it is easier to string them on the rod and attach fruit skewers to them. Before preparing fruit palm, pineapples must be washed and dried. In order to string them on the rod, you must first cut the slices evenly from the bottom and top. This will give them stability. You should leave green leaves on top of only one pineapple, which will be attached to the top of the palm tree. To do this, you should choose a pineapple with the longest and most beautiful leaves. Then you need to make holes in the middle along the pineapples with a knife. It is advisable not to make them too wide, so that later the pineapples do not stagger on the rod. Thread prepared pineapples onto a tube. If some pineapples are larger than others, they should be placed at the bottom. And on top attach a pineapple with a green tail. 
Now the most interesting and easy thing remains - to decorate the fruit palm. Leaves should be attached to the top of the palm tree. These can be artificial palm leaves, or they can be real leaves of some exotic plants that look like palm leaves. They can be found in florist or flower shops. Fruits for decorating a palm tree can be selected to your taste. The more colorful fruits there are, the brighter the palm tree will look. Most often used for decoration: strawberries, grapes (white, red or blue), tangerines, kiwi, bananas, apples, pears, peaches, plums, kumquats, carom. Clean and dry fruits should be cut: kiwi and bananas - in circles; apples, peaches and tangerines - slices. Carom sliced with asterisks will look original. Strawberries and grapes are used whole. If desired, you can also take dried apricots and prunes. 
Prick the fruit on toothpicks or skewers and then insert it into the trunk of a palm tree. You can attach fruits of certain colors in a circle, diagonally, along the trunk or in the form of some kind of ornament. However, try to make sure that the pieces are as close to each other as possible, then the pattern will be clear and clearly visible. The finished palm tree can be additionally decorated with a flower garland or you can use multi-colored skewers with rain in some places. The stand can be draped with fabric, decorated with flowers and beautifully decorated fruits. Now, your festive table will become refined and unique! Option 1 To make a small do-it-yourself pineapple tree, you will need: 3-4 pineapples (homemade) artificial palm or fern leaves wooden or bamboo sticks Step 1 Use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the pineapples - they should be as flat as possible to there were no voids when assembling the palm tree. Step 2 Remove the core from the pineapples. Leaving about 2.5 cm around the edge. You should end up with hollow pineapples. Step 3 Take 3 wooden sticks and set them halfway into the remaining pulp of the first pineapple at approximately the same distance from each other. Put the second prepared pineapple on top as evenly as possible. Repeat this step to your desired palm height. Step 4 Place the made pineapple trunk in the center of the tray. Add faux palm leaves at the top of the palm tree and spread the foliage evenly. Step 5 To create additional stability, wrap the bottom of the palm tree with, for example, a towel and place plastic wrap on top. Decorate the place around the palm tree with chopped fruit. Step 6 With the help of toothpicks, you can make a fruit pattern on the palm tree of your choice. 
Option 2 The second version of the pineapple palm differs from the first one in that it does not consist of whole pineapples, but of rings. The version in the photo took about 10 pineapples. You will need: pineapples artificial palm or fern leaves wooden or bamboo sticks flower foam (floral sponge) Step 1 Cut off the top and bottom of the pineapples. Cut pineapple into large rings. Step 2 Place bamboo sticks in two floral sponges (for stability) and put pineapple rings on them. To make the shape of the palm tree more rigid, fill the gaps with paper towels. Step 3 When you reach your desired height, attach the artificial palm leaves to the top of the palm tree. Step 4 Drape the bottom of the palm tree with a beautiful fabric and decorate it additionally.

Fruit palm is quite easy to make, and its preparation does not take much time. Children will especially like it, who can also help with cooking with pleasure. But most of all, the palm is very useful if your child does not want to eat fruit.
First, take a long oval dish so that the future landscape looks more realistic. If there is no such dish, you can use any large flat plate.
So, how is a fruit palm made on a plate? For cooking you will need: orange (1 pc.) or tangerines (2 pcs.), Banana (1 pc.) And kiwi (1-2 pcs.). First you need to wash and peel all the fruits. Of course, you can not peel kiwi with oranges. In this case, the dessert will look better, but it will not be very convenient to eat it.
palm making
If you decide to take an orange, then it should be cut into circles 5 mm thick. One of the circles must be put aside in order to later turn it into the sun. The rest should be cut in half. If you took tangerines, then divide one fruit into slices. The second - with a sharp knife, in the middle you need to cut so that a circle comes out (again for the sun). And the remaining slices should be divided into two more parts.
Next, let's take a banana. It must be divided into two parts along and put on a dish. These will be palm tree trunks. If the dish is not quite large, you can cut off the ends. Next, cut the bananas obliquely and slightly move them, giving them an inclined position.
Below, in the form of scales, lay out an island of oranges or tangerines. Let's put the sun on top. Fruit palm is almost ready.
Kiwi left. We divide it into two parts. Then you can cut them into slices lengthwise and across to make it more natural. What do we do next? Now put the prepared ingredients on a plate so that you get an image of a palm tree.

unusual fruit tree
This fruit tree is a beautiful and original table decoration for big holidays: weddings, anniversaries, parties, corporate events, birthdays. Such an interesting dish gives the feast originality and unusualness.
So how to make a palm tree from fruits? It is prepared from pieces of various fruits, which are attached to a pineapple base imitating a palm tree trunk with the help of skewers. Instead of traditional cutting, for big holidays it is better to choose such an interesting way of serving.
Let's start cooking! Immediately decide how high the fruit palm tree you need. The small tree is 60 cm tall and will hold 20 people and will require 4 small pineapples. The middle palm tree (1 meter high) is designed for a table for 35 people. To make it, you need to purchase 7-8 medium-sized pineapples or 5-6 larger fruits. A large tree (1.5 meters) requires 8 large fruits. It is suitable for a table for 60 people.
Fruit palm: step by step
First, attach a steel rod of the desired height to the stand. You need to string pineapples on it. When choosing them, keep in mind that the last pineapple should cover the upper end of the rod. Ripe soft fruits are better suited for the tree. They are easy to put on the rod, and fruit skewers are easily attached to them.
From the clean and cut off the upper and lower parts, only one remains with uncut green leaves. It needs to be attached at the top of the palm tree. In the core of all fruits, narrow through holes are made. Next, the resulting elements are strung on a rod.
After the trunk is ready, let's start decorating. At the top of a palm tree, it is worth attaching some leaves (artificial or real), not necessarily palm leaves - you can simply pick up leaves that are similar in shape.
Fruits that can decorate a palm tree are varied. More often, grapes, strawberries, kiwi, tangerines, bananas, pears, etc. are used for this. After all, a multi-colored fruit palm will look even more interesting.
The selected fruits, of course, need to be washed, dried and cut. Bananas and kiwi - in circles, and peaches, tangerines and apples - in slices. Grapes and strawberries are served whole. Then you need to chop or toothpicks and insert into the resulting trunk. You can attach fruits diagonally, in a circle, in the form of a pattern, along the trunk. It is better to arrange the pieces more densely so that the pattern looks clear.
You can also make decorations from flowers, fabric, flower garlands or something else. So our fruit palm tree is ready, a photo of it is presented in the article for clarity.
