Punga, Silver Fern, Alsophila dealbata, NZ Silver Fern

Cyathea dealbata, commonly known as the Silver Fern or Punga, is a NZ native tree fern. It features bright green fronds up to 4 m long which have a silver-white colouration on the underside, hence the common name. It typically grows to 6 m tall and 4 m wide in a semi-shade or full shade position. Cyathea dealbata is well suited to cool and damp areas and is great for providing a sub-tropical feel to a garden. It is also used for revegetation projects, added to native gardens, planted alongside streams, and used in mixed plantings.
