Cinnamon Fern
Osmunda cinnamomea L.
Cinnamon fern is a tall (1.0 m or more), erect fern where cinnamon-brown spore producing stalks appear before the pale green, leafy and infertile fronds. The fertile stalks are much smaller, brown and densely woolly . The sterile fronds are lance shaped. Spores are produced in the spring. Cinnamon fern is non spreading and forms ‘clumps’ of individual plants.
