Description
A magnificent evergreen fern that brings an exotic, architectural feel to gardens. Its sturdy, fibrous trunk supports a crown of large, gracefully arching, deep green fronds, creating an impressive tropical appearance.
A superb choice for shaded and sheltered gardens, Dicksonia antarctica is particularly well suited to woodland-style planting, courtyards and coastal gardens where it can provide a striking focal point. It prefers moist, humus-rich soil and benefits from protection from strong winds and severe frost.
With its distinctive tree-like form and lush foliage, the Australian Tree Fern makes an excellent specimen plant and can also be used to create a dramatic exotic planting scheme. Given the right conditions, it will gradually develop into a spectacular feature plant that adds year-round structure and interest.
