In this video I answer the question, does #treefern #dicksonia #antarctica grow roots when they are planted and if so what do they look like? I have had 5 tree ferns in pots for some time, over 12 months, and I wondered if they had made roots. It has now come time to plant my tree ferns driectly into the ground and in the process of doing so I will be taking them out of their pots and examining their roots. You will see that the question is answered very clearly, yes, they do produce roots. #dicksoniaantarctica
Tree ferns like shady moist conditions and produce fronds from the top of the trunk. They should be watered and fed at the top of the trunk and the whole trunk should also be soaked. It is said that you cannot over water a tree fern. Also, whilst the tree fern is hardy in the UK climate it is worth protecting them over winter. You will find an entire video on my channel dedicated to tree fern winter protection.
