Dicksonia Antarctica Tree Ferns. Pot Grown.
The Dicksonia Antarctica Tree Fern also known as the Soft Tree Fern is an amazing plant and one of the oldest in the world, native to Australia and New Zealand. These ferns are pot grown and do not have a clearly formed trunk at the moment.
When it is mature it's thick trunk is densely covered with matted aerial roots and is very slow growing. In contrast it's amazing lush green fronds spring from the crown growing incredibly quickly, given enough water and feed.
It prefers a shady spot spot, but if planted in a sunny position, it will need more water. The most important thing to remember is to give the trunk plenty of water to keep it moist.In winter protect the fronds with a layer of fleece during prolonged freezes. When the trunk is large enough fill the crown with handful of straw to prevent snow and ice settling and also wrap with layers of fleece.
