Bracken identify question.
I asked yesterday what the difference was between bracken and fern. I have had these sprouting in my garden for years and I dig them up. Could anyone id them for me pls. Both are from the same plant. Thankyou

If the stems of the leaves pictured come directly from the bottom of the plant then it is a fern. If there is a tall, central stem with with a number of these pictured stems branching off it, then it would be bracken. A picture of the whole plant would have been useful.

That's what I wanted to say, Bulba - we need to see how the plant comes out of the ground, Pdb.
