Tree ferns and allies

Tree ferns and allies are ancient, tree-like ferns characterized by tall, upright trunks and a crown of large, arching fronds. The trunk, often resembling that of a palm tree, is fibrous and supports the fronds that can reach impressive lengths. These plants thrive in moist, shaded environments, typically found in dense, tropical forests where their height allows them to compete effectively for sunlight.
