Dicksonia, cyathea etc.

There are few places more beautiful in my mind than forests, mysterious and teeming with life. Having touched upon ferns in the previous post, I immediately wish to continue.

Dicksonia, Cyathea etc., "Tree Ferns".
(Perennial with wooden trunk.)

Planting: Spring
Flowering: None.
Aspect: Sheltered and shady.
Hardiness: Half-hardy, put straw in the crown.

Notes: Modern tree ferns are the closest resemblance to ancient ferns of the Carboniferous era.
