Dicksonia fibrosa

Growth Habit and Size

This tree fern grows slowly but can reach impressive heights of 4–5 metres with a broad, thick trunk covered in fibrous material. Its lush, green fronds create an elegant canopy, providing shade and a dramatic natural feature that enhances garden landscapes over time.

Planting and Care Advice

Dicksonia fibrosa thrives in humus-rich, well-drained soil kept consistently moist. It prefers shaded or semi-shaded locations with good air circulation. Regular watering and mulching help maintain moisture levels. Protect young plants from frost and dry winds by using appropriate covers or windbreaks, especially during colder seasons.

Landscaping and Indoor Uses

Ideal for native-themed gardens, shaded patios, and large container planting. Its majestic form and dense foliage make it a focal point in naturalistic and fernery garden designs. The fern supports local biodiversity by providing shelter for native wildlife and enhancing garden ecosystem health.
