Is this a stag fern? Weighs about 200kgs and has snapped a beam at my parents’ house. They’re wondering if it’s worth selling rather than hanging back up.

    Elkhorn (*Platycerium bifurcatum*), rather than Staghorn (*P. superbum*)

    Possibly you could get some good money for it, but they’re less in demand here than overseas where the hype is from.

    🇦🇺 Break it up and tie the segments onto untreated boards, or in a tree. They need a shady North facing aspect, keep moist and feed them banana peels!

    It’s completely worthless, but I’m happy to come take it off your hands to save you a trip to the tip 😇
