Fern Fertile Fronds

15 years ago

Greetings:

Can fern fertile fronds be planted? I have ostrich ferns that have them. Any suggestions on how to handle them? Do you work with them now, or in the spring? I appreciate you sharing your thoughts.

Best Regards

The fertile fronds need to release their spores, much like other plants release their seeds. That is the purpose of that frond.

The growing, transplantable part of a fern is the structure below ground (like the roots or the rhizomes). You can divide that part and replant sections of it.
