Fern

Ferns in New Zealand are diverse and iconic, with the Silver Fern being the most famous. These plants range from tiny ground ferns to large tree ferns, characterized by their green, feathery fronds. The Silver Fern, in particular, is a symbol of New Zealand, notable for its silver-white underside. Ferns are integral to New Zealand’s forest ecosystems and hold cultural significance, especially in Māori tradition.
