Deer Fern

A California Native fern that can be found near the coast of Santa Cruz.  It can reach three and a half feet tall by two feet wide.  This fern has two types of leaves-sterile and fertile.  The sterile leaves have flat wavy leaves and the fertile leaves are narrower and stand upright.  

This fern goes dormant in the winter - you should cut back dead fronds in the late winter, early spring.
