| What does the whole plant look like? The leaf does not look like any fern I've seen before. Plants don't need help to grow. If you want to kill it, Roundup sprayed on it will kill it, so will straight gasoline, but why use toxic chemicals or something illegal to kill it when you can just dig it up? Kt |

| I totally agree. Most chemicals such as herbicides and pesticides are bad for the environment and kill good along with what we consider pests. I'd like to see pix too. Looks like a cool fern. |
