General Description/History

Umbrella ferns have long stems with a circular crown of many fishbone like ferns at the top. Each fern has many soft fronds arranged opposite each other giving a ladder-like effect. Colour is glossy green.

These ferns are native to eastern coastal Australia from south of Sydney and north to south-east Queensland. They are very difficult to propagate and therefore most supplies are harvested from the wild in NSW and Qld.
