Abstract
An artificial frond for use with artificial plants has an elongate rod for providing structural integrity. A plurality of elongate leaves, each having a first end in engagement with the rod, extend outwardly from the rod. The first end of each of the leaves includes an aperture extending therethrough. The rod extends through the aperture of each of the leaves for attaching the leaves to the rod. A stem portion surrounds the rod and is in engagement with the first end of the leaves for firmly securing the leaves to the rod such that the stem portion and the leaves are formed generally in the shape of a frond.
