Description
Dicksonia antarctica is one of the most iconic and resilient tree ferns, known for its majestic appearance and ability to thrive in temperate and subtropical climates. Its gracefully arching, dark green fronds emerge from a thick, textured trunk covered in fibrous brown hairs, giving it a distinctive and exotic look. Over time, this slow-growing fern develops an impressive height, making it a striking focal point in shaded gardens and woodland settings.
Thriving in partial to full shade, Dicksonia antarctica prefers rich, consistently moist, well-drained soil and benefits from regular watering, especially in dry conditions. Hardy in USDA zones 8-11, it can tolerate occasional frosts and can be protected in colder climates with mulch or fleece. Whether planted in sheltered outdoor spaces, near water features, or grown in large containers, this ancient tree fern brings timeless beauty and a lush, tropical feel to any landscape.
