Is there such thing as a fern tree?

Epiphyte Tree dwelling ferns are actually flora that grow on the barks of trees and sometimes even near the top of the tree and they provide a second ecosystem for local wildlife. These ferns are not parasitic to the native tree.


What is the difference between epiphytes and ferns?

An epiphyte is a plant that lives on another plant. Whereas most plants anchor themselves in soil and derive nutrients from soil, an epiphyte attaches itself to the surface of a tree trunk, branch, leaf, or some other part of a plant. From there the epiphyte collects nutrients usually from water running off the substrate plant or from debris wafting in the air. Ferns are a large, variable group of plants. Some, but not all, epiphytes are ferns. Some, but not all, ferns are epiphytes. Some plant groups are more likely to have epiphytic species than others, and the ferns are one of those groups. For example, it's not surprising to learn about a fern, orchid, or bromiliad that is epiphytic. In fact, a very large portion of orchids and bromiliads are epiphytes. But it's very unlikely that you'll ever hear about an epiphytic pine tree. Pines simply can't have an epiphytic growth habit.
