| Keywords: fern plant outdoor palm tree tree Cyathea dealbata, also known as the silver tree-fern[1] or silver fern, or as ponga /ˈpɒŋə/ or punga /ˈpʌŋə/ (from Māori kaponga or ponga), is a species of medium-sized tree fern, endemic to New Zealand.[2] It is a symbol commonly associated with the country both overseas and by New Zealanders themselves.[3] This fern is known to grow to heights of 10 m or more (though it occasionally takes a rare creeping form). The crown is dense, and the fronds tend to be about 4 m long and have a silver-white colouration on the undersides. This distinctive silver colouration has made them useful for laying along tracks for night walking. The scales are a dark brown and are often twisted and glossy. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyathea_dealbata Cyathea dealbata, also known as the silver tree-fern[1] or silver fern, or as ponga /ˈpɒŋə/ or punga /ˈpʌŋə/ (from Māori kaponga or ponga), is a species of medium-sized tree fern, endemic to New Zealand.[2] It is a symbol commonly associated with the country both overseas and by New Zealanders themselves.[3] This fern is known to grow to heights of 10 m or more (though it occasionally takes a rare creeping form).
