Large tree ferns in UK!

[cordyman]

These arn't huge, but the biggest i've seen around here in some abundance, unfortunately some were killed off in 2009/2010 as can be seen by the empty crowns

Hello there, i have recently became very interested in tree ferns especially D. Antarctica. I thought since there are other large plant threads i'd start one for tree ferns. So if anyone has any or knows of any large tree ferns in the UK, then please share your pictures. I would love to see them and I'm sure others would too! Regards DPG123

Ironiccally the large tree ferns I have have recently developed smaller leaves than the smaller ones ,some three feet or so high have done fantastic and the tall ones have developed smaller leaves over the years ,some I have had for fifteen years.The used to get fed with chicken pellets with very little initial result that I could tell.

Helligan is impressive but tallest I've seen are probably East Ruston Old Vicarage.

Penjerrick has some very old tree ferns (the oldest in the UK, so happy are they there that there are hundreds of self sown spoorlings around the gardens even saw some growing on tree branches above ground, if visiting do wear wellies its always wet

Give the the right conditions to grow in and they will

The garden couldn't be any damper, the lawn completely died.
