FIELD GUIDE NOTES
Fiddlehead — Matteuccia struthiopteris
Fiddleheads are the tightly curled young shoots of the ostrich fern, a species commonly found in moist, shaded areas along rivers and floodplains.
They emerge in spring and gradually unfurl into tall green fronds as the season progresses.
Ostrich fern fiddleheads are a well-known seasonal food in New Brunswick and are traditionally harvested before the fronds open fully.
