New Fern
On my way back from a visit to someone this big guy was at my door,
OMG, I did'nt expect it yet much less know which end is which. Not feeling well this week so please help me out. I need to know which is top or bottom.
To me its just a log, anything heavier and I would have needed the help of my son.
Thanks for any help, its lunchtime see you all Laterzzzz

Re: New Fern
The end on the right, by the newspaper is the top, that's where the croziers will emerge from.
I'd get it upright, put in a pot, maybe burying the bottom 6 inches so it's stable, give it a drink and leave it somewhere frost-free.

Re: New Fern
Ooooh lucky you Kata not giving advice as RogerB allready has, just wanted to say, Im excited for you
Re: New Fern
Its in a pot as we speak...no compost till tomorrow.
I think I figured out once I checked both ends... One end has like sticks, the other I believe are croziers where a fern will appear.
Many thanks Rog!!
Probably buy a new pot tomorrow it was for this Dee I asked about pots yesterdayI thought I would have time to sort one but Seagroves beat me.
Get excited when it gets a fern Dee....

Re: New Fern
Congratulation Kata! Glad to see you've got one at last! I had never seen a real one till I went to Seagraves myself. I got three of them and I love them Wait till the fronds start growing.I cannot believe how huge they get.I am having to duck under them to get to my other plants so I can water them.They are in the conservatory and I did not want them to grow so quick, but a bit of sunshine on the odd days have seen them really take off.Don't forget to take lots of pictures
Re: New Fern
Congrats Kata...looks like a nice fern!!
Most wanted list - Any Young Trachycarpus and/or fern.
Re: New Fern
Looks just the same Kata as the smallest one I bought, and I have got just the spot in mind for it. I can see this being one of your favourite plants as they are definately one of mine, good luck hope it grows really well for you.
Re: New Fern
Thanks everyone,
Got the compost, the fern is outside but under fleece at night, seems ok.
I think its not a bad log size for £30.00 as long as its not only log...

Nice one Kata
Re: New Fern
Thanks Gray!!
Its still under fleece at night. Quite a sunny day today which should do it good.

Re: New Fern
Nice buy Kata, I'm sure that will become one of your favourite plants as they are fascinating to watch unfurl and then absolutely stunning when fronded.
Re: New Fern
Sorry Kata I didn't see your Q.kata wrote:When can we plant out DB?
Thanks for the nice comment too.
When it warms up, after any threats of frost have passed....so, probably around August 2014
Re: New Fern

Hi DB,
lets not tempt fate...When it warms up, after any threats of frost have passed....so, probably around August 2014
