Coastal Woodfern

The coastal wood fern (Dryopteris arguta) is native to the west coast of North America. It often grows in shady oak woodlands. They can grow to be about two feet tall and have a variable range of appearances, with some growing leaflets turned at an angle from the leaf and others with bristles on the tips of toothed leaflets. This fern supports the Orange Tortrix Moth (Argyrotaenia citrana).
