Australian/Tasmanian/Soft Tree Fern. A stunning and versatile tree fern in that it can be planted in a range of conditions. In their natural environment however, tree ferns grow as an understorey plant, in dappled shade, in areas with high rainfall. The knuckles, as they are termed, lie dormant in the crown of the tree fern, then in spring the croziers (emerging fronds) will start to unfurl, eventually producing huge fronds up to 3 metres in length.

Care requirements: Can be planted in full sun through to full shade. Be mindful that if grown in full sun it will require far more watering, and as it is more open to the elements, more protection during the winter. 

Keep moist during spring through to the end of autumn. During winter it is advisable to protect the crown by adding a ball of fleece. We protect the developing trunk by laying old fern fronds around the base and sides of the trunk, as well as fleece. A bucket can be placed over the top for additional protection, but ensure to remove on warmer days for airflow.

We also sell tree fern feed.

Hardy to -5c, lower if protected correctly
