Thompson and Morgan Dicksonia Antarctica Australian Fern Tree 3ft

Bring a touch of the Australian wilderness to your garden with the Dicksonia antarctica Fern Tree. Perfectly suited to the UK's climate, this hardy fern thrives even down to -5°C (23°F). Watch as its elegant, long-cut fronds gracefully unfurl, adding a dramatic flair to any damp, shaded spot.
This slow-growing beauty adds approximately 3cm to its trunk each year, eventually reaching a height of up to 4 metres. For optimal growth, plant your Dicksonia antarctica in reliably moist, rich, fertile, and preferably acidic soil. A sheltered position in dappled or semi-shade, such as a woodland setting, is ideal. Alternatively, these ferns can flourish in containers filled with humus-rich soil, allowing you to move them outdoors during summer and into a greenhouse or conservatory for winter protection.
This half-hardy perennial thrives in dappled shade or full shade, reaching an impressive height and spread of 400cm (13ft). Your purchase includes one Dicksonia antarctica Australian Fern Tree with a 3ft trunk, complete with growing and care instructions. Please note that the images are for illustrative purposes only, showing the expected results upon maturity. Results may vary depending on growing conditions and seasonal changes (e.g. deciduous plants lose leaves in colder months).
