Foliage guide

A foliage guide for holding one or more pieces of central stem supported foliage, such as palm leaves or ferns for floral trimming, comprising elongated support means, a first guide having a set of closely spaced elongated rodlike posts fixed to the support means, and a second guide having a set of closely spaced elongated rodlike posts fixed to the support means with both guides being symmetrically disposed along a longitudinal centerline of the support means with the posts of each guide set being fixed closely adjacent the centerline and being substantially removed from the elongated edges of the support means and so spaced to confine substantially all central stems from lateral movement and with both guides being substantially separated from one another to receive and closely guide between the two sets of posts one or more of the stems carrying foliage, with substantial portions of the foliage projecting beyond the support means so that it may be cut away from the support means, and a handle fixed to the support and extending beyond the portion of the support carrying the two sets of guide posts.
