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.
