- This captivating, ancient plant features large, arching fronds and a distinctive fuzzy brown trunk, with origins dating back to the Jurassic period.
- As an evergreen, Dicksonia antarctica provides fantastic foliage and visual appeal all year round.
- Ideal for gardens with limited sunlight, it thrives in both partial and full shade.
- Perfect for the UK's wet, temperate climates, this tree fern loves consistently moist soil.
- An excellent, easy-to-grow choice for gardeners, it has been honoured with the RHS Award of Garden Merit.
- Fun Fact: The 'trunk' is not wood but a mass of aerial roots that transport water and nutrients.

- Habit: Clump-forming. A trunk-like clump (or log) from which fern fronds grow.

- Planting Time: May, June, July, August, September
- Position: Plant in beds and borders in partial shade to full shade.
- Soil: Plant in any moist, well-drained soil. Tree ferns appreciate consistently moist soil, so make sure not to let your plant dry out.
