Tasmanian Tree Fern -Dicksonia Antarctica-Approx 40cm Tall & Potted into a 3 litre pot. These plants produce large fern like leaves in the Spring from the centre of the trunk, which then die back in late Autumn. If buying in the Winter or early Spring you will be buying a trunk which will then sprout as soon as the weather warms up.
These unusual plants like acid, well drained soil, preferably with some added bark. Prefer partial shade and need watering and feeding well if leaving in the pot. Eventual height and spread is approx 3M, but they are quite slow growing in the UK climate.
These plants are normally hardy but should be protected from hard winters by wrapping sacking or similar around the trunks and over the trunk top. Or if potted they could be brought into a cool conservatory for the winter.
The plant you will get is similar to the one in the first pictur.
These plants come from Tasmania and have a government certificate to prove they came from approved plantations.We measure our plants from the bottom of the pot to the top of the plant.
