Dicksonia antarctica is a native, evergreen tree fern and is the best choice if you are looking for a beautiful, graceful fern for a shady position in the garden. The graceful fronds are produced throughout the warmer months of the year. Trim fronds only after turning brown no closer than 6 inches to the trunk - this will help promote a healthier, wider, and taller trunk.
Soil: Moist but well-drained organic loose soil - do not allow the soil to dry out.
Conditions: Plant in a protected area with part sun for best results. Needs winter protection when temperatures get below freezing. Strong prevailing winds will damage fronds.
Size: Height 4m x width 3m.
