Tree fern

Tree ferns are ancient and fascinating plants belonging to the family Cyatheaceae, characterized by their large, fern-like fronds that grow atop a woody trunk. These tropical and subtropical ferns are notable for their unique appearance, resembling miniature palm trees with their tall, slender trunks covered in fibrous roots. Tree ferns are typically found in moist, shaded environments, such as rainforests and humid woodland areas, where they thrive in well-drained soil rich in organic matter. They are prized in gardens and landscapes for their architectural beauty and ability to create a lush, tropical atmosphere, making them a popular choice for enthusiasts of exotic and fern-rich gardens.
