  • With its huge arching fronds and hairy brown trunk, this primal plant is as evocative as they come. And when we say primal, we mean really ancient; Dicksonia is an incredibly old genus, dating back all the way to the Jurassic period (roughly 143 million years ago)!
  • Growing well in both full and partial shade, this tree fern is a brilliant option for those gardens not blessed with much sun. It likes consistently moist soil and rainier climes, making it an excellent choice for wet, temperate regions (like the west coast of the UK, for instance).
  • Tree ferns take a long time to grow, often growing as little as just one inch per year. Buying your fern as an established log therefore offers a much faster way to achieve an impressive plant.
  • It’s super easy to plant, too ! Just dig a planting hole a little wider than the log’s diameter and plant it so that roughly 15-30cm of the log is buried beneath the surface.
  • We recommend planting your tree fern alongside other shade-tolerant plants like hostas and heucheras for maximum foliage impact.
  • A worthy recipient of the RHS Award of Garden Merit, this tree fern has been recognised as one of the best plants gardeners can choose for their garden.
  • Care tip! Wrap your plant in horticultural fleece throughout winter to protect it from frost and cold temperatures.
  • Did you know? The ‘trunk’ of the tree fern isn’t actually a trunk in the sense that we know it, but rather, modified rhizomes – a collection of aerial roots – through which water and nutrients are transported.
