Hi All,
I have created a tree fern survey for tree fern growers. Just a few questions that I have put together out of interest.
Some of the questions are general tree fern questions and some about your own tree ferns.
Please fill it out and we will find out a little about what people know about tree ferns.

Thanks,

A little typo on question 7.

Did u get your fleece yet?

I had about 200m of fleece in the shed that I use every year, but It was just finding time to do them.

One thing that I have learned so far from the survey is that my Dicksonia antarctica are the only ones that don't root down the trunk.

First question, the species names need to be lower case (Dicksonia antarctica, not Dicksonia Antarctica)

Fast learning that one Conifers,

Trachicarpus f not F.



Sorry rob, I know nothing about Ferns to do your survey.

Good idea but I gave up with it because.........
There should be a 'tick box' next to 'How many years have you grown tree ferns'? There is a text box!

Whatever I entered returned - 'Please add positive number'!
There appears to be nowhere to answer 'How do you protect your tree fern in Winter'?

The only tree fern native to both Australia and NewZealand is Cyathea Cunninghamii.
Most peoples tree ferns where harvested from Victoria with the white harvesting tag the state provides.
Most people lost tree ferns in winter 2010 but decided to replace them.
Everyone seems to have seen new roots growing down the stem of the tree ferns, except for myself unfortunately.
Tree ferns in the wild grow new roots in Winter.
