Dryopteris tokyoensis 11 ventricosa selection from Mary ChastainThe Tokyo wood fern is one of those little known, but splendid, deciduous woodland ferns, native to woodlands from Honshu to Shikoku and across to Korea.

We think Dryopteris tokyoensis is an easy to grow and distinctive deer resistant fern for the woodland shade garden.
