Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
I am really liking this tree fern, for its slender trunk it looks fantastic, ok not as hard as the Antarctica but, with some protection i think it will be ok. Is anybody growing one? does anybody have a picture to post of theirs. And where sells them for a good price? Thank you very much in advance.

I've got a small one settled in after a year and hopefully next year it will put on some good growth.

Got it from Amulree. Poor transport snapped all the fronds last July. It has recovered and thrown out quite a few fronds this year.sanatic1234 wrote:Where did you get it from Kris? and do you have a picture of it mate? I think these are fab, i would love one of these.
Arlon has some good ones I believe....
Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
I would of sent it back and told them to replace it! that is shockingly bad. Fare enough not there fault, but at the same point you wasn't paying for a damaged plant.
Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
Got three good plug plants from a nursery on eBay. They are very healthy and growing well. They need substantial protection if left outside but everyone I've seen with them brings them indoors or a heated greenhouse/conservatory over winter.
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
I would keep mine potted tom, and sink the pot into the ground in the growing season. I would store mine either in my shed which is frost free, and always seems to be warm. or there is my store room that has a lowest temp of 10c. They can take -4c so i have read in the j****e seeds catalogue. if you don't mind me asking tom when did you buy the plug plants? these would take a while wouldn't they to form any kind of trunk?

Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
After reading an old thread on here it seems there can be a lot of confusing between Australis and Cooperii when small is there a easy way to tell em apart for a old thicko like me

Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
Not an expert Leigh but i think there's a good chance they are Australis. A bit difficult to see but they don't seem to have the abundant golden fuzz that the cooperi's have, the stipes look a little on the bare side in comparison to my cooperi's.Leigh wrote:After reading an old thread on here it seems there can be a lot of confusing between Australis and Cooperii when small is there a easy way to tell em apart for a old thicko like me
