If you actually look up ancient trees they were basically just giant ferns. Versions of them are still around today although they do now rot of course when they die. They're super creepy looking.

I would really like some for my fern garden but unfortunately it is literally cheaper to buy a top of the range smartphone than it is to buy those things. It's really weird going to a garden centre with everything costing single digit prices and then suddenly there is this tree thingy with commas in its price.
