Tree ferns were a firm plant hunter's favourite back in Victorian times, as they were a symbol of wealth and travel experiences to Australia.
They have maintained this sense of mystique ever since. Now you too can grow these surprisingly easy to grow, exotic looking plants too!
Harvested under a strict license from woodland clearance in Australia and Tasmania, these astonishing plants really will delight and amaze. They grow under the woodland canopy, in the shade, so when planting them here, ensure you do so in a sheltered spot too.
Unlike the more mature tree ferns we sell, that come as 'potter' logs are at least 10 years old - this is a very young variety that you can watch flourish and grow for many years. It really is amazing how quickly your tree fern will grow.
They are hardy down to -5 in Winter, although the fronds will die back. Keep the crown protected in winter with a layer of straw or fleece to keep the cold and wet out. When you get it home, plant it in a big pot, or in the garden soil.
It takes almost 2 years to root in, so do not be alarmed by this slow growing beauty.
Fully deserving its coveted RHS Award of Garden Merit, you can be sure that this is a proven garden performer, guaranteed to be suitable for UK gardeners at every level of experience. You can therefore plant this in the garden with confidence, for stunning displays for many years to come.
Please allow us 7-10 working days to dispatch your order. Pre-ordered items will be sent as soon as possible after the date quoted and we'll generally ship your entire order with your pre-ordered items. When your order is dispatched, we'll send you another email with details of how to track it.
Most orders are sent on a fully-tracked courier service with Yodel. To avoid perishable items being stuck at depots and deteriorating, no signature is required, and our courier is asked to leave your order in a safe place on your property.
We'll send a tracking link when we dispatch your order, so you know when its due to arrive. Please note, once delivered we cannot be held responsible for loss or theft from your property. If you have any specific delivery instructions, please let us know - there's an option to enter a short message for the courier at the checkout.
Smaller, lighter, single-item orders may be sent through the post with Royal Mail - in which case no tracking is available.
Our experienced nursery team will always send your plants nursery fresh in the perfect condition to thrive when you plant them, so although most plants are very tough and will not be affected by all but the most extreme frosts or heatwaves, we avoid dispatching the most perishable plants if extreme weather is forecast, or over Bank Holiday weekends.
Please note, we cannot guarantee delivery on a certain day or time. Delivery to outlying postcode areas may take 1-2 days longer, dependent on your location.
