miniature tree fern

Family Name: Blechnaceae

Synonyms: Blechnum gibbum (Lab.) Mett

It grows to 1–2 m (3.3–6.6 ft). With a vertical "trunk" (actually a rhizome ), it has bright green fronds. As it does not tolerate temperatures below 15 °C (59 °F), in temperate  zones it must be cultivated under glass all year round. It is a suitable subject for a greenhouse or conservatory. It requires an acid soil and a partially shaded position
