Fern - Christmas
Christmas ferns are asymmetrical with a fine texture and has a moderately dense crown. It typically grows in a fountain-like clump to 2' tall and features leathery, lance-shaped, evergreen (green at Christmas time as the common name suggests) fronds. Sori appear on the undersides of the pinnae only at the ends (last 1/3) of the fronds. Crosiers (young fiddleheads) in spring are silvery and scaled. These plants serve as hosts for butterfly larvae. Stocking shape of the pinnae also suggests Christmas. The evergreen fronds provide good winter interest for the landscape. This fern does not spread but the clumps increase in size over time. The Christmas Fern, 'Polystichum acrostichoides', occurs in both dry and moist wooded slopes, moist banks and ravines. ... more information
