Cyrtomium caryotideum 'Go Fish' (Fish-tail Holly Fern)

Part Sun to Light ShadeZone: 6-10, guessing 24" tall Origin: China

NEW! (Cyrtomium caryotideum T-459/05) This Asian/US native fern looks completely different from Cyrtomium falcatum...in fact, it looks like a caryota palm leaf. The olive drab foliage consists of very large pinnae (leaflets to the taxonomically disadvantaged), with five or so attached to each side of the stem (rachis to you enlightened folks). The end leaflet on each stem has a cool three-lobed look...sort of like an amur maple. Each clump of this evergreen and deer-resistant fern will eventually make a lovely 3' wide mound. Cyrtomium 'Go Fish' represents Chinese genetics from a particularly vigorous individual in our garden. Pot size: 24 fl. oz (709.77 ml)
