Album Description:
This album shows a year in the life of my three tree ferns, Dicksonia antartica. In winter, I put a little fleece into the top of the trunk to protect the new croziers from frost. I leave the fronds all through winter and remove them in early spring.

I've bought my Dad a 3' D.A. for his birthday and the fronds are just beginning to develop on 2-3' 'stems'. Your photos are an inspiration and much better than any gardening book for showing the various stages. A big thank you for sharing them. Kind regards.
