This species never makes a large plant. But, it does resemble the classic “Tree Fern”. It has a short, small trunk 3 to 4 inches in diameter, an overall height typically of under six feet and crown width of four feet. It prefers filtered light and will tolerate temperatures into the 20’s F. People in the San Francisco area are growing this species. Be aware that this species, like all ferns, needs water.
Note that there are other types of “Blechnum Ferns”. But, the variety shown is one of my favorites and I’m sure you’ll enjoy it in your garden.
