Fern Moss (Thuidium delicatulum) is a Ground Covering Plant with a Fern-like Appearance Fern Moss (Thuidium delecatulum) Fern Moss: The fern moss plant, Thuidium delecatulum, is a ground cover plant that happily grows in almost any shade or semi-shaded spot in your garden. You may find others calling it delicate fern moss or common fern moss, but all refer to Thuidium delecatulum. This North American native species is widespread in the United States and Europe. Its native habitat is shady woods and wetlands. It grows on rocks, logs, and stumps and in swampy areas--it is unfussy about having good soil quality. It needs a little attention for the first few months after planting, especially if you experience a hot season or drought. But it becomes almost maintenance-free after it takes hold and starts to spread. Fern moss is a terrific ground cover plant, even in slow-draining or acidic soils around juniper or pine trees. Fern Moss Is an Enchanting Ornamental Moss Fern moss takes its name from its appearance. This moss has delicate, velvety frond-like leaves that look like tiny ferns. Upon closer inspection, the leaf texture has a peach fuzz coating that resembles tiny hairs. Although the fronds can grow up to four inches long, they lay over under their weight. That draping effect creates a lovely, dense mat that adds a pure earthy green to your garden bed. Unlike some mossy species, fern moss also tolerates foot traffic. Fern Moss Is a Very Tolerant Species Once you plant fern moss, it requires very little care from you. Although it prefers moist to boggy living conditions, it can conversely tolerate short hot spells and drought. If you have a location with poor drainage and heavy shade, fern moss would be an excellent plant to consider. While some plants don't like "wet feet," fern moss is just the opposite; it will happily grow in the wettest, shadiest yards. How to Use Fern Moss in Your Garden Success with fern moss is all about plant site selection--it wants a moist, shady location. If you give it the placement it requires, your work will be over. Fern Moss thrives in moist, partial shade, and acidic soils. It also requires protection from prevailing winds. It is an excellent ground cover for moss gardens, shade gardens, mossy rock walls, and concrete or stone steps. It also adds a nice touch of green when you use it in hanging baskets and potted plants.

On the other hand, some growers prefer to leave the nuts in the trees and watch the local wildlife--birds, squirrels, and chestnuts--go crazy feasting on them in the autumn.  The Chinese Chestnut Tree Is an Outstanding Specimen The Chinese Chestnut Tree is outstanding addition if you have an Asian-themed garden or as a focal point specimen. It grows approximately sixty feet high and forty feet wide.  The trunk is sturdy, medium brown in tone, and splits into several lovely, asymmetrical branches. The oblong leaves are yellow to golden green, eight inches long, four inches wide, and have serrated edges. The leaves turn a lovely soft hue of yellow in the fall.
