What Fern am I?

Post by shadylanejewel »

Anyone know this Fern? With some investigative work I may be able to figure it out.

With the furry stems it looks like some type of Polystichum. Which one would be harder to identify unless you know that you purchased a specific one.

It looks most like the Tassel fern because of the way the fiddleheads are held. Polystichum polyblepharum.

I have 10 different Polystichums finally located my diagram and now I have to find the other Tassel Fern. Tags, signs ect seem to just disappear. :o
