    Default Resurrected Tree Fern (Xanth)

    Seems some interest in Black Boy Tree Fern Pressii from WA.

    Shows the base cut to reveal its yellow colour, some blanks and a Pen.

    The tree fern is purely a mass of roots, the centre acts as a conduit for water, gives a freckled wondrous fibre like wood and grows to hundreds of years slowly.

    Peter thats what i am talking about, looking at the size of the base it was a very old grass tree, wish mine had the colour of yours that is displayed. A good reference to look back on for quality.
