  • Question

    Saw these yellow trees off a trail in ronkonkoma there were some fruits or berries hanging below.. I was curious what these exquisite ferns were so I sampled some berries! What species of fern are these?

    Answer

    Dear Pcosta123, I'm sorry I can't answer your question (exactly). The plant with the yellow leaves is not a fern, but a deciduous shrub that will flower and fruit (not produce spores like a fern). The images are, unfortunately, not clear enough or with enough resolution for me to see what species you have photographed. If you are able to get higher resolution images I can try to help further. Best wishes.
