Nursery contributed plant descriptions

This Australian tree fern is well known in cultivation, growing quickly at nearly 1 ft per year to 12 ft tall in good conditions, part sun to dappled shade with regular water and fertilizer. The trunk is slender, to only 3-6" thick while the lacy fronds can reach 8 ft long. Less hardy than C. brownii and C. australis, where temperatures go below the upper 20s F, these can be grown in a pot and, for best results, brought indoors at freezing temperatures. Planted in the garden, they can be lifted or wrapped if cold temperatures threaten.
