and if they are, will it kill the plant?
Should fern fronds be pruned back in the spring?
Where do you live? Indoor or outdoor ferns? Are the fronds currently green or not?
Without this info, all I can tell you is that cutting back green fronds doesn't make sense and is hard on the plant. Why would you want to cut back green ones unless they are ratty looking? If that is the case, then removing some might be ok, but do so sparingly. The fern will probably recover regardless of how many of the leaves you remove, but it will be weaker and slower growing. If the fronds are brown, no harm is done.
Reply:Nope.
Reply:No...you can take a few if they are ostrich ferns...they are yummy kind of like asparagus. But be sure you know you have the correct species so you dont get sick. Of course i am refering to the new years green fiddle heads and not last seasons brown fronds the brown ones can be cut out and discarded if you wish.
Reply:What a hypocrite! 'Beautiful dimples' just insulted me on one of my questions! I think pruning her would be a great idea!
Peaceout!!!
