Hi, Jacky,
So many options! You could go with other Australian natives requiring the same conditions, or a fern garden, or do a search here on Shoot for plants that match the conditions your tree fern needs. Just do an Advanced Search, plugging in the attributes you require.

Fern garden

I have just bought a Dicksonia Antarctica and am planning a fern garden. the bottom of my garden is damp and cool, grass won't grow. I have just been to the cloud forest in Peru and was inspired by the beautiful ferns. What would look good with my tree fern? I have a space of 8' x 12', all shaded.

Is it dead

I have my tree ferns planted out in the garden. Although I covered it with fleece during the winter there have been no new fronds this year so far. Could these be considered as having died?

Tree fern too slow unfurling

Hi Kathy
Spoke to supplier today and I should try to give it more water in to the crown. It is sprinkled in to crown at night for 10 mins daily, unless we've had rain. I was advised instead twice a day and for longer irrespective of rain. There seems to be some difference of opinion on where to water, in to crown or on trunk, even with the experts. Black sap is no problem, caused by some marginal damage to the new fronds.
Thanks

Tree fern trouble

Hi, Iris,
A bit of a mystery with that black sap. A few questions - is it planted directly in the ground? I dont think the three hours of sun would stress it out too much. How do you water it and how often does it get water? I'm wondering if there has been too much water on the crown - it's always best to water Dicksonias from the side. Also, it is (still) newly planted and still needs time to recover from that. But, that sap is bugging me...

Do I cover crown from heat?

My new 9' Tree Fern planted in June had a flush of 5 large fronds in July. In the crown are many more ready to unfurl but they are splitting and giving out a black sap. At this height, if the weather is fine, it is in the sun for about 3 hours a day,which I hadn't considered. Should I cover its crown with leaves perhaps? I have 2 others looking beautiful beneath it from the year before.
Any ideas please?

Hi Kevin, to be on the safe side, I'd keep it protected until winter is over as our weather is so unpredictable. Good luck!

It depends where you live and where you want to plant it. Dicksonias can lose their leaves in cold areas, so you could be risking that lovely foliage. I am in London and would feel safe in planting out now. You must be itching to unleash it from the netting!
