Gymnocarpium dryopteris 0
Author: (Carl von Linné (1707-1778)) Edward Newman (1801-1876)Family: Aspleniaceae
Genus: Gymnocarpium
English name: Oak Fern
Zone: Mediterranean
Experiences
Very small fern with creeping rhizomes, loving intense shade and freshness. We are testing this taxon in a basin near the Nothofagus Wetland and the results are very positive because not only is it doing very well but it keeps filling the basin and its fronds remain in place until late in the year, despite intense and hot summers.
