Australian Tree Ferns

Australian Tree Ferns have fronds raised up from the ground by trunks. The fronds create a canopy or shelter space that shades other plants. They are a distinctive plant that creates a tropical and prehistoric setting in a garden or patio. Australian Tree Ferns, as sold in the United States, include the following species: Cyathea australis, Cyathea cooperi, and Dicksonia antarctica.

Tree Ferns at the center of a fern forest


Smaller Tree Ferns can be the center of a fern forest section of the garden.  This Australian Tree Fern is smaller than the calla lily at planting, but will grow to be the tallest plant in the fern forest.  Under good conditions, the trunk of the tree fern can grow more than one foot per year in height.
