Description
The Delta maidenhair fern displays kind of triangular shaped arched fronds (collection of leaves) with many small pinnate leaves that are light green in color. The black wiry stalks are an interesting characteristic of this species. These stalks give the plant it's stiff upright tree appearance - although they do arch over once they've matured.
