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

Re: Anybody growing a cyathea cooperii
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
