This is great. Must be 100s of years old....
But I imagine, its not called tree fern. Just that its too old and
looks like a tree.
Thanks for sharing.

Dear Ushaprabhaji:
wonderful stuff you are sending in, thank you...

Birds' nest fern is not a tree, this one just has a long stalk from
yearly leaf growth rings... just like the Cycads...
on this plant notice the leaf skirt of brown earlier year's leaves...

It grows well in humid climate and in Arunachal Pradesh big clusters of it on tree trunk is an usual site.
