This tree-like fern is a beautiful accent for the tropical effect. Dicksonia antarctica has a slow-growing dark brown trunk covered with fuzzy reddish-brown hairs and topped with a crown of arching finely cut dark green fronds. Tasmanian Tree Fern is best in shade but can tolerate full sun in foggy coastal areas. Plant in a location where it will be protected from strong winds. Dicksonia is slower and shorter than the Australian Tree Fern.
How large does the Tasmanian Tree Fern grow?
It grows slowly, eventually reaching 10 to 15 feet tall and 8 to 12 feet wide. Its tall, fibrous trunk is topped with a graceful crown of arching fronds that create a lush, tropical appearance.
What kind of light does it prefer?
Partial to full shade is ideal. It tolerates morning sun in cooler climates but should be protected from harsh afternoon or direct summer sunlight.
What type of soil does it need?
It prefers humus-rich, well-drained soil that stays evenly moist. Mulching around the base helps retain moisture and keep roots cool.
How should it be watered and maintained?
Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during warm or dry weather. Mist the trunk and fronds occasionally to maintain humidity. Protect the plant from strong winds and frost.
