Dicksonia antarctica
Tree Fern
🚚 Free UK shipping on orders over £50 🪴
Dicksonia antarctica, commonly known as the Tasmanian Tree Fern, is a striking architectural plant that brings a dramatic, tropical feel to shaded gardens and outdoor spaces. One of the hardiest tree ferns, it is well suited to UK gardens and thrives in cool, sheltered conditions.
This evergreen fern produces a beautiful rosette of large, arching fronds with finely divided, glossy dark green foliage. The fronds emerge from a distinctive fibrous reddish-brown trunk, gradually forming an elegant tree-like structure over time. Although slow-growing, a mature Dicksonia antarctica tree fern can eventually reach up to 4 metres in height.
Perfect for woodland-style planting, shaded borders and sheltered courtyards, this hardy tree fern adds texture and structure to the garden throughout the year.
Plant Care
Plant outdoors in moist, well-drained soil in a shady or partially shaded position. Water regularly during the growing season, particularly during warm weather. Keep the soil just moist during winter. In colder months, protect the crown by wrapping it with straw or horticultural fleece to help prevent frost damage.
