Dicksonia antarctica

A unique and dramatic addition to your outdoor space, the Dicksonia antarctia is one of the hardier evergreen tree ferns.  With a rosette of arching, deeply divided, glossy dark green fronds and stout reddish-brown stem, it is slow-growing, but could eventually reach 4m in height!

Plant in moist, well-drained soil and place outdoors in a shady spot. Water well in the summer and keep soil just moist in the winter.  In winter protect the crown by wrapping it up with straw or horticultural fleece.
