Hi Norm.
The way I make them . The trunks are made from copper wire and covered in Das clay and textured. The palm leaves or fronds, copper wire for the stem with masking tape doubled over and cut to shape to make the leaves. The fruit will be cocnuts which are actually peppercorns and the hair under the lower leaves is the mesh of a dark scouring pad teased apart .
