Using the Freehand and Brush Tool, draw some branch shapes. Set the width for the longest line to 16pt, the medium lengths to 8pt and the shorter lines to 4pt. Marquee select all the lines. With the lines and the Freehand and Brush Tool selected, open the Select an Existing Stroke Shape drop down list and select the Convex 2 stroke shape (4th row down) to taper the lines.
Marquee select the branch shapes. From the Arrange menu, select Convert Line to Shape. With the branches still selected, Arrange > Combine Shapes... Add Shapes to create one single outline. (I have added a red outline so you can see the effect of this process).
Create a vertical ellipse with the Ellipse Tool. Center a small thin rectangle and Arrange > Combine Shapes... Subtract Shapes. Arrange > Break Shapes to create two half shapes. Move these together then Combine Shapes... Add Shapes to create a leaf shape. Resize the leaf shape to the size shown above.
