Tree fern or fern (in Tupi, large fern) is an arborescent fern, that is, it has the shape of a tree and has large leaves divided into follicles.
Ferns, ferns and ferns are included in the ferns, ferns and ferns. They are vascular plants devoid of flowers, seeds and fruit. It is one of the oldest plant species on the planet and takes up to 100 years to reach adulthood.
The tree fern tree stalk is erect and well developed, reaching up to 10 meters in height. From it, intertwined roots are formed with a great capacity for water absorption and retention.
The tree fern stalk, for a long time, was used in the manufacture of pots, plates and stakes, serving as support for other plants. Its exploration for use in ornamental projects led to tree fern fiber to disappear from several regions.
Native to the Atlantic Forest and Central America, tree fern fiber is on the IBAMA (Brazilian Institute for the Environment and Natural Resources) list among endangered species. In 2001, a CONAMA (National Council for the Environment) resolution prohibited the cutting and exploitation of the species.
Coconut tree fern fiber
Tree fern fiber made from recycled coconut fiber was an alternative created to replace the use of natural tree fern, which is already threatened with extinction.
Made from the husk of dry coconut or green coconut, it is a 100% natural and biodegradable organic product. Coconut bark fiber has the same absorption as natural tree fern fiber and is also used for the manufacture of vases, plates and stakes that serve as support for other plants.
