New York Fern, Tapering Fern, Dryopteris noveboracensis, Parathelypteris noveboracensis, Polypodium noveboracense, Thelypteris thelypterioides
Thelypteris noveboracensis (New York Fern) is a soft, deciduous fern with fine-textured, pinnate-pinnatifid, ellipitical and tapering, light yellow-green fronds, 8-25 in. long (20-62 cm). They feature approximately 20 pinnae (leaflets) that are deeply cut into smaller, oblong and rounded subleaflets. The fertile fronds are larger and more upright than the sterile fronds, and produce a few small, circular sori near the margins of the pinnae. This fern grows in clumps of three or more fronds along a dark brown, slightly scaly rhizome. This fern can multiply very quickly to form dense colonies. Native to eastern North America, New York Fern is well-suited for massing along streams and ponds in shade or filtered sun. It makes a good companion for spring ephemerals, covering the gaps they leave in the woodland garden.
