@hiyall My niece brought the fern in her suitcase at Thanksgiving! I decided to plant part of it at the base of one of my oaks. We had a freeze shortly after the planting. When I checked on the fern, it was stuck to the bark, but brown. I still have the rest of it in the garage frig in a zip lock bag. That fern is bright green. I haven't opened the bag since shortly after receiving it.
Niece found it growing on a tree at a grocery store in Gulfport. She climbed a limb to get to it!
