Today, table decoration for the holiday has become a real art. Professional chefs, and just ordinary women, are constantly coming up with something new. At any time of the year, a dessert dish such as a fruit palm will be a great addition to the table. It can be prepared in two ways.

On a plate

Fruit palm is easy enough to make and doesn't take long to prepare. Children will especially like it, who can also help with cooking with pleasure. But most of all, the palm tree is very useful if your child does not want to eat fruit.

First, take a long oval dish to make the future landscape look 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, buteating it will not be very convenient.

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 do the 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 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 almost ready.

Kiwi left. We divide it into two parts. Then you can cut them into slices along and across to make the palm leaves look 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.

Thus, the fruit palm, the photo of which is presented in the article, is ready to be served. Your guests will be pleasantly surprised.

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 makes the feast original and unusual.

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.

The top and bottom parts of clean and dry pineapples are cut off, leaving only one 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 the palm tree, it is worth attaching any leaves (artificial orreal), not necessarily palm - you can just 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, plums, peaches, 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 the fruit on skewers or toothpicks and insert it 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.
