Dicksonia Antarctica Tree Fern
Dicksonia antarctica
Dicksonia antarctica, known as the Tasmanian Tree Fern, is a striking evergreen fern with a thick, fibrous trunk and large, arching fronds. Native to Australia, it thrives in cool, sheltered areas of New Zealand with moist, free draining soil. This fern adds a lush, tropical feel to shaded gardens and is ideal for underplanting or as a feature. It is slow growing, hardy, and tolerant of light frost once established, making it a popular choice for NZ landscapes.
