September 12, 1999 in Donetsk on the square near the exhibition center " Expo-Donbass " was installed an exact copy of the palm Mertsalov. Created by Donetsk blacksmith Sergey Fedorovich Kaspruk with the help of his son Oleg and other Donetsk blacksmiths, who worked on a palm tree for three and a half months. The copy of Kaspruk is also solid, without welding and joints. Since the description of the Mertsalov technology was not preserved, Kaspruk developed his own [3] . The billet of rails was precipitated and the groundwork was cut in place of the leaves. These stocks were heated and then forged with a chisel and a hammer . In the process, about ten thousand heatings were performed [3] . Sergey Kaspruk also produced the following copies, which were installed in Kiev on the territory of the Globus shopping center and Moscow on Manezhnaya Square [3] .

- "Aquarius" on the alley of signs of the zodiac
