Style: Short Sleeve
Description
This women's tee is made from 6.1 oz 100% ring-spun US cotton in a boxy, slightly cropped mid-length cut. It features a topstitched ribbed collar, shoulder-to-shoulder twill tape, a seamless body, and a double-needle bottom hem. Dyed with OEKO-TEX certified low-impact dyes in a WRAP-certified facility, using a salt-free clean pigment process that uses about half the water of conventional pigment dyeing. Boxy fit, sizes S–2XL — it runs close to the body, so size up for a looser drape. Slight shade variation between garments is normal.

Meet Christmas fern
Polystichum acrostichoides (Michx.) Schott
Christmas fern keeps a green presence near the woodland floor during winter. It forms circular clumps of arching fronds, slowly enlarging from a scaly rhizome. Its common name reflects the persistence of the sterile foliage around Christmas, while the taller fertile fronds follow a different seasonal pattern. NC State Extension: Christmas fern
Seasonal development
North Carolina
Silvery, scaled fiddleheads emerge in spring. Sterile fronds remain evergreen, while fertile fronds die back in winter. NC State Extension: Christmas fern
Native range
Kew records it from eastern Canada through the United States to northeastern Mexico, including Nuevo León and Tamaulipas. Regional accounts place it in rocky woods, along stream banks and in thickets. Kew POWO: Polystichum acrostichoidesNC State Extension: Christmas fern
Ecological relationships
