I'm new to this site and am so happy to find this fern forum. I've been wondering what the ferns that grow in live oak trees were called and see here that they are Resurrection Ferns and well known to some of y'all. I have several very old and large live oaks but no ferns...this property was not taken care of for about three years. The trees do have some green growth of something on their branches which looks rather like moss but even though I spray the branches with water frequently, no ferns have emerged. Would anyone know how I can encourage the growth of Resurrection Ferns on my live oaks? Thanks for any suggestions!
