Dicksonia antarctica

Dicksonia Antarctica, also known as Soft Tree Fern, is regarded as one of the easiest tree ferns to cultivate in the UK. It possesses a thick, slow-growing trunk that takes on gorgeous, bright green fronds. The finely dissected foliage is a great contrast for the fibrous trunk below. It guarantees a unique and tropical vibe into any outdoor space you place it in, as the fronds grow very quickly from Spring onwards.

This hardy Dicksonia tree will appreciate a shaded spot to grow in. If you decide a sunnier area is where you want to place it, be aware that watering levels should increase to keep the tree satisfied. The trunk should always be kept moist, whilst protection during the Winter is also key. The crown can be covered with straw. The trunk and fronds should be shielded by layers of fleece.
