Giant Leather Fern

Acrostichum danaeifolium

Can be cut back to improve appearance, but should not be severely pruned more than once a year. Spores cover undersides of leaves giving them a bi-color appearance. Specimen plant or mass background planting in moist areas. Could be used as a hedge. As this fern gets very tall, it is not appropriate as a groundcover.

Dense, full crown
Rare and unique
Requires shade when young
Elegant and stately
Pleasant rounded shape
Highly nutritious fruit
