I spotted this male
fern in Longford park, late winter. Dryopteris can be deciduous semi-evergreen
or evergreen ferns. This fern is native to the UK and incredibly resilient –
with foliage remaining green in Autumn, Spring and Summer. It can reach a
height of 1-1.5m in around 5-10 years. Male fern thrives in poorly drained, or
moist but well drained soils – tolerating acid, alkaline and neutral soils.
These ferns are best kept to grow in shaded areas.
