Description

The naturally occurring bush variety of Asplenium bulbiferum and truly native to New Zealand. Distinctive in that its stems are greener and fatter than the species usually seen in garden centres. New fronds are edible and considered a delicacy – pick them at about 5–6 cm tall, just before the koru unfolds. Not often seen in garden centres; contact us or other fern growers to source them.
