    The Black Tree Fern can grow to heights of 20 m, making it the largest tree fern in the world. It may have been named because the base (the stipe) of each mature frond is black with a rather bluish tinge if seen from the underside. Also, the fiddleheads are covered in a dark brown furry layer of plant material.
