This evergreen Australian tree fern has large fronds and a dark brown trunk - slow growing to 3m/10ft or more. It should be planted in a moisture retentive soil in a cool shaded position out of strong winds. Larger specimens are able to stand temperatures as low as -10°C but in very cold areas the crown should be protected with a mulch of bracken or straw. It can be grown in a cool shaded conservatory. It should be watered freely, especially in warm weather.
