Nice. Looks like Polypodium pseudoaureum. It should be easy to grow on a tree in your climate. I know a few people with greenhouses consider Polypodium aureum a weed because it volunteers so readily. Not sure if pseudoaureum volunteers as readily.

I actually have my very first fern volunteering on my tree that I've attached numerous epiphytes to. It's still too small to ID but if I had to guess I'd say that it was Polypodium aureum.

I love this fern, and I might get some for my shade area. I think the new genus name is Phlebodium.

It called the Blue rabbit foot fern….Phlebodium pseudoaureum. Z8-10 keep soil moist.

From last fall.

Amazing! That's so cool that it grows for you. I had mistakenly thought that it was marginal even for here in the Bay Area and I'm thrilled to be wrong.

Jason it’s been reported to take z8 winters with mulch. It’s the last fern to regrow here, early June. Will be interesting to see if the leaves are as big as when I bought it last year… Hot humid places no problem.

Saw tons of them at the big box stores up here last summer. You can read more about them on Plant Delights and Yucca Do website.

Pete, a species of Polypodium is recruiting at Cudgera creek and Brunswick and seems to like rock faces where Drynaria would like too...another weed for the tweed !

Oh well , we are 1 World, many weeds in countries has helped them, our mountains would have slipped away if we didn't have Lantana to hold on to the topsoil eh Its in the ground now and hope it grows over some of the many ground covering weeds we have, after all its got great colour to add
