Pteris wallichiana Taoshan Trail Cynara Fargesia scabrida has a habitPteris wallichiana 'Taoshan Trail' is our second spore grown selection from our 2008 botanizing trip to Taiwan. The giant 8' tall, branched ferns grew at 6,200' elevation underneath giant Taiwania cryptomerioides, along the trail as we hiked toward the Taoshan Waterfall. In the garden, Pteris wallichiana grows best in average to moist, rich, organic soils.
