Tree Fern
Cyathea australis - Its 'trunk', is an enlarged rhizome. This cold-hardy fern is resilient, able to thrive in diverse conditions, from moist mountain regions to drier slopes. Stalks were roasted and eaten as a tonic after any sickness. Upper trunk contains a core of white starch. Uncurled fronds are juicy and edible. Its robust nature extends to coastal environments, where it withstands salty winds. Prefers partial shade to full shade.
