Fern berries

As usual, we started with one foxtail fern years ago, sitting upright in a pot and putting out . . . foxtails.

Divide and conquer.

And now there are a couple in the sweet bay garden, still in regular pots. But also one hanging on the Bradford pear by the courtyard (it has at least a 3-foot drape) and another hanging high over the bench at the north end of the shuffleboard court (at least 4 feet).

And watered right, fed right, shaded right, they're putting out fruit.

Who knew?
