I want it :lol: , doesn't look like a tree fern in some ways. I'm guessing that the pics are off New Zealand and I'm sure i know of most that grow there.

I was wondering if it is a tree fern at all, could it be a palm or a cycad?

it was on the growing on the edge forum. 'walk up a steam' thread

Not a tree fern for me either; but it also isn't a cycad or a palm. I'd go for Cordyline banksii, compare here.
