A robust and attractive #fern on #foliagefriday 💚

Do these curl up at the end like other ferns? I love the way they do that

They do have crested , large arched fronds twisted at the tips @simonwood81 😊 Highly recommended . The real king of all British ferns 💚

Ooh, I love this one!!

How do you tell it is male?

@MoyaB Male-fern is a large, clump-forming woodland fern which is common throughout the UK. Male fern fronds are separated into tapering leaflets, deeply divided and coming out from the main stem in opposite pairs.
