Texas Gardening: Resurrection Fern, 0 by LeslieT

I tied pieces of the fern to one reachable Live Oak branch and the birds took care of spreading them around. No, they don't just grow on dead branches.

Our street is lined with gorgeous old live oaks whose branches span the street, many of which now have resurrection fern growing on them.

The only picture I could find was taken immediately after Ike passed through and prior to cleanup (the piles were so high I'm not sure you could've seen the trees). You'll note that the broad, healthy limbs are covered with resurrection fern (which seemed about the only plant which did enjoy the storm).
