I am now 99.99% certain I have bought an Australis and will post some pics up once I've had chance to resize them.
That's so long as im still alive as i promised 'Her who must be obayed' i wouldn't buy any more plants untill I've worked out where their all going
(did have me fingers crossed when i said it though )

Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
Here's mine (cooperii)
Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
All the ones I saw where priced up at £29.99 including mine and they all had a Dicksonia antarctica price tag on them but a CA card on a stick in the pot.Nathan wrote:I got mine a few weeks back & theres quite a few in my pot...

I did point this out but it turned out the price was the same
Im still happy with it at that price
Yes Mark there are two in the pot but I'l leave them together for the moment as the shape they have suits my needs for the spot i want to use it in next yearArlon Tishmarsh wrote:That looks like 2no plants in that pot , Leigh.

Nice Cooperii,Kris easy to see the differance nowYorkshire Kris wrote:Here's mine (cooperii)
Kris.
Sorry again San for hijacking the Thread, but hopefully this might help you as it seems a CA is a bit more tolerent of frost and may help you decide for over wintering factors

Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
Not at all leigh keep posting pics and info, its making a very good read.
Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
Yes mine had the Dicksonia antarctica tag on too, but I knew instantly that they were not Dicksonia antarctica's, then saw the CA tag in the pot
I'm sure mine was £19.99, but it could have been £29.99, it was quite a few weeks back
