Thompson and Morgan Dicksonia Antarctica Australian Fern Tree Trunk 1ft

Bring a touch of the Australian wilderness to your garden with Dicksonia antarctica. This hardy tree fern, native to Australia, flourishes in the UK's mild, damp climate, tolerating temperatures down to -5°C (23°F). Watch as long, elegant fronds dramatically unfurl from the crown, adding a lush, theatrical element to shaded, moist areas of your garden.Slow-growing, with trunk growth of approximately 3cm per year, it will take many years for this fern to reach its potential height of 4m. For optimal growth, plant in reliably moist, rich, fertile, and preferably acidic soil. A sheltered spot with dappled or semi-shade, such as a woodland setting, is ideal. Alternatively, grow in containers filled with humus-rich soil, allowing you to move them outdoors during summer and back into a greenhouse or conservatory for winter protection.Your Dicksonia antarctica will be delivered with growing and care instructions.
