Photos taken on 23rd May on the "Weigela path" in the wood.
Usually found in moist, rocky areas or woodland in central and eastern Asia, this evergreen fern is deciduous in colder climates. Fronds may be cut to the ground in spring if damaged by dry winter winds. The distinctive fronds make great accents among groundcovers, or in drifts with perennials, shrubs, and trees.
It has leathery 1.5- to 2-foot-long, upright, evergreen, pale green fronds with distinctive, broadly scythe-shaped leaflets.
This is the hardiest of the 'Holly Ferns’. Its upright semi-evergreen fronds surround an erect crown.
