Blechnum nudum - Fishbone Water Fern


Blechnum nudum Fishbone Water Fern ground small trunks Australia evergreen
Origin: Australia

This is a wonderful fern that is a great addition to any fernery. Blechnum
nudum forms an erect, rounded clump with a small black fibrous trunk (up to
1 foot), spreading to form large colonies over time.
Like many of the Blechnum species, the sporing fronds are markedly
different in shape to the vegetative fronds.
Spore-bearing fronds are much more slender and appear erect from the centre
of the fern.

I have had a couple of plants in my garden for a few years now without any
problems over the winter. However this can be a borderline fern with regard
to full hardiness and therefore this should be borne in mind when choosing
where to plant so as to offer the plant adequate protection from both wind
and frost as much as is possible.

Blechnum nudum is found in fern gullies and boggy patches in mountain
creeks, in association with Dicksonia antarctica, and therefore it does
best when its roots are permanently wet.
