Cyrtomium fortunei Ulleung Island Hibiscus One needs to periodically check

One needs to periodically check for aphids

Cyrtomium fortunei Ulleung Island Hibiscus One needs to periodically checkCyrtomium fortunei 'Ulleung Island' is our 2002 spore grown introduction, from our 1997 expedition to the volcanic Ulleung Island off the Korean coast. We originally had this fern identified as Cyrtomium balansae but are now certain that it is actually a form of Cyrtomium fortunei. This holly fern is one we found as a single clump growing in a moist woodland area with Disporum flavum at 3,000' elevation on Ulleung Island. The pinnae are much narrower
