Topic: Cibotium


In the News (Wed 15 Feb 12)

  
  Cibotium - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cibotium is a genus of eleven species of tropical tree fern—subject to much confusion and revision—distributed fairly narrowly in Hawaii (four species, plus a hybrid), Southeast Asia (five species), and the cloud forests of Central America and Mexico (two species).
Cibotium glaucum, from Hawaii, is the most frequently encountered Cibotium species in the horticultural trade, together with its sibling species Cibotium chamissoi and the potentially huge Cibotium menziesii.
The dripping forests and stream gulleys of the cloud forests on Hawaii's volcanic slopes are the natural habitat of Cibotium.

 Kauai tree ferns - Hawaii Gardening Forum - GardenWeb
Separating this one out from the other Hawaiian Cibotium tree ferns would be hard, but the diminutive trunk height would be the thing to look for.
Lots of tiny trunked Cibotiums all together - in a Kauai forest, of course - would almost certainly be thie right one.
Of course, any Cibotium tree ferns that you come across on the big island will be from the better known cluster of C.chamissoi (often misnamed C.splendens or C.hawaiense), C.glaucum and C.menziesii - not the funny little one I was talking about in the original posting.

Older plants send up offshots like some species of Dicksonia, untimately forming a clump of treeferns if the offshoots are not removed.
Cibotium schiedei is very easy to grow, and, though it thrives in a shady, damp area, it will tolerate a wide range of conditions.
It is also well adapted to pot culture.
