Planting & Care

This ancient plant captivates with large, arching fronds and a unique, fuzzy brown trunk.
A living fossil, the Dicksonia genus dates back to the Jurassic period.
Ideal for gardens with limited sunlight, it thrives in both partial and full shade.
As an evergreen, it provides year-round structure and visual appeal.
Honoured with the prestigious RHS Award of Garden Merit for its outstanding performance.
Perfect for the wet, temperate climate of the UK, it loves consistently moist soil.

Species: Dicksonia
Foliage Colour: Green
Features: Fantastic foliage, Easy to grow, RHS Award of Garden Merit, Evergreen
Planting Time: May, June, July, August, September
Position: Partial shade to full shade
Habit: Clump-forming; a trunk-like clump from which fronds grow.
Eventual Spread: 2-3m
Hardiness: H3 - Hardy down to -5°C. While one of the hardier tree ferns, Dicksonia antarctica will benefit from having its crown wrapped in straw throughout winter to protect it from the worst of the cold.
Soil Type: Any moist, well-drained soil.
Pest & Disease Resistance: Excellent; rarely troubled by pests or diseases.
Pruning: Little to no pruning needed; trim away dead or damaged fronds as necessary.

Planting: Plant in beds and borders. Tree ferns appreciate consistently moist soil, so ensure the plant does not dry out. Plant three metres apart to allow for spreading.
Watering: Water regularly. Spray the tree trunk regularly to avoid the plant drying out.
Feeding: Tree ferns benefit from an application of general-purpose fertiliser at the start of spring, then a monthly liquid feed at the end of spring/start of summer.
