• Trunk: The most striking feature of the tree fern is its trunk, which is actually a thick, fibrous stem covered in a characteristic pattern of old leaf bases. This trunk can reach heights of up to several meters, depending on the age of the plant.
• Fronds: A top the trunk, the tree fern boasts a crown of large, arching fronds. These fronds are composed of numerous leaflets arranged along a central rib, giving them a feathery appearance. The fronds can reach lengths of several meters and are typically deep green in color.
• Rhizome: Below the surface, the tree fern produces a rhizome, a creeping underground stem from which roots and new fronds emerge. This rhizome allows the plant to spread and regenerate over time.
