Tree Fern

Cyathea cooperi

Tree ferns are ancient plants that look like big green feathers. They grow in shady forests and have roots that can climb up trees. Tree ferns love moist places and provide homes for small animals.

Lebensraum: Forests

Aussehen

The Tree Fern has a sturdy, woody trunk topped with a crown of large, finely divided fronds, making it resemble a palm. Its fronds are often bright green, distinguishing it from most true trees by its lack of flowers or seeds.
