Description
A seed-grown dwarf line rather than one clone. The source mother was described as small and short, while its descendants range from strongly compact dwarfs to less extreme forms.
Dwarf Nook plants share documented descent from the same horticultural spore line, but they do not share one fixed appearance. Individual seedlings can vary considerably. Source history is therefore more dependable than any single frond shape, and exceptional seedlings such as Spur and Gabriel are recorded separately under their own names.
