Yeah Dave that was the old thread I had read.
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
)

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.
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 year

Kris.
Nice Cooperii,Kris easy to see the differance now
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

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
