Name This Fern?

Posted by bluebars 7 MD (My Page) on Tue, May 26, 09 at 8:37
Purchased for $1.00 several years ago, and planted right under the shade of a maple tree, this fern has really grown large and lush. It provides a bright and happy spot in my otherwise rather boring garden. (The deer eat everything else!)
Can anyone tell me it's name, and suggest methods of propagation?
Thanks in advance,

Appears to be Cyrtomium fortunei, Japanese Holly Fern.
I once had a neighbor, now deceased, who loved those. She was a Master Gardener, but for unknown reasons, she could never remember the Latinized name. I encouraged her to label the plant, but she said that her fellow MGs would chide her for having to label a plant! Pride goeth before, etc., etc.!

| I'm pretty sure this is Cyrtomium fortunei. It's a Cyrtomium species at least. |
