Dicksonia fibrosa is a slow growing, very hardy tree fern which will reach up to 6m in height (although over many decades!). It has a very thick, fibrous trunk and produces a beautiful crown of fronds in a shuttlecock shape. The fronds feel very crisp to touch, grow 1 – 2m in length and create a very symmetrical appearance. Old fronds can form a “skirt” around the trunk which protects from drying out.
This variety is suited to a sunny position or light shade. Keep moist while establishing – but needs very little attention after that.
