Tree Ferns & Ferns
Ferns and trees ferns belong to an ancient family of plants. Beloved for their stunning structures and lush green foliage, they generally grow best in moist and /or shady areas.
Ferns tend to thrive out of the sun, having originally had a natural forest habitat where large trees acted as a canopy to block out the sunlight. The large luscious leaves associated with ferns evolved to help them cope with growing in the shade.
