Description:
Lygodium japonicum, also known as Japanese climbing fern, is a species native to eastern Asia and Australia. It features vine-like rachises that can climb other vegetation, with leaves that can exceed 30 meters in length. This fern reproduces via spores and spreads vegetatively through underground rhizomes. It is considered an invasive species in the southeastern United States, where it can act as a 'fuel ladder' during controlled burns. Its lacy foliage resembles a palmate green snowflake, adding a unique texture to gardens.
