Tenacious Fern

A small fern struggling in dry weather

We usually regenerate with local natives since they should be well adapted to the existing environment. But this small fern comes from the North Queensland’s Atherton Tableland. The Giant Creek Fern (Pneumatopteris sogerensis) prefers a moist habitat and has become stressed with the current hot dry weather. As long as it survives this season, it should be alright because of its habit to grow a small moisture-holding trunk.
