I am now 99.99% certain I have bought an Australis and will post some pics up once I've had chance to resize them.
That's so long as im still alive as i promised 'Her who must be obayed' i wouldn't buy any more plants untill I've worked out where their all going

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![Laughing :lol:](./images/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
