Filicium-Decipiens

Filicium decipiens, also known as the Fern Tree or Japanese Fern Tree, is a graceful and compact evergreen tree admired for its lush, fern-like foliage and rounded canopy. Native to tropical Asia and Africa, it is a favorite in urban landscapes, private gardens, and institutional campuses for its neat growth habit and low maintenance.

This slow-growing, small-to-medium-sized tree typically reaches 15–25 feet in height, making it ideal for avenue planting, medians, driveways, and small gardens. Its finely divided, glossy green leaves create a dense, umbrella-shaped crown, offering both aesthetic appeal and functional shade.
