This is a most attractive, graceful feature. At a distance, the tree is seen as a light yellowed green shade. Because of the subtlety of its foliage, it deserves a place where it can be viewed, hence a position near a sitting area is recommended rather than treating it as an isolated specimen. The fruity odour of the crushed foliage is an added attraction.

Dryopteris erythrosora
Buckler Fern
Common Name: Buckler Fern Latin Name: Dryopteris erythrosoraSoil: Moist but well drained Position: Partial shadeHardiness: Hardy Eventual height/spread: 0.6m/ 0.4mSpecial feature: Decorative fronds that are have copper tones when youngThis is a stunning variety of fern that offers unique colour. Fresh fronds have coppery pink tones and as the leaves mature they take on a dark green shade; you will get both colours on the plant at the same time, which provides variegation. This is a very versatile plant that can be planted in full sun or full shade, but it is best-suited to partial shade. It works really well as part of a woodland planting scheme and we love this alongside a fresh fern, like the Dryopteris Goldiana.
