Large Dicksonia Antarctica - Hardy Tree Fern - circa 3-4ft tall

Tree ferns are native to Australia and New Zealand.

This variety, Dicksonia antarctica, will over time, grow a thick mass of roots forming a trunk that carries long, up to 3m (10ft) mid- to dark green fronds, perhaps they'd be better termed tree-like ferns than true trees, however if you've even chanced to see mature specimens you could be forgiven for thinking they are just that. 

Impressive tree ferns are one of the oldest plants in the world and their fascinating appearance will soon catch the heart and imagination of any gardener. They just shout Jurassic Park jungle, and are often seen used to great effect to Dinosaur themed tourist attractions!

In the garden, they'll add drama and style to a semi-shady spot, and will happily grow in any soil as long as the trunk is kept moist. This tree fern is at the start of it's life and supplied in an approx 5-6 litre container with lush green fronds, a typical plant as supplied is depicted in the image showing a square shaped planter.

Perfect to plant and watch develop over the years as it will slowly develop the trunk.

Supplied in an approx 5-6 litre container with an overall height of approx 80-100cm, these are strong solid juvenile tree ferns with impressive fronds.
