Those tree ferns are stunning.....are they hard to look after here Louis? Your garden looks sheltered from the pic...wouldn't mind trying one, but what about the winter months?

Tree ferns are easy to keep Janey. All you have to do is cover the crown over the winter period. I use the fallen leaves in the autum, and tuck them in the crown, and that's it. I dont even cut the fronts, as they themselve gives them protection. In the Spring, I cut down the damged fronts, and start the cycle all over again.

Thank you Louis.....they certainly look great in your garden, may give one a go...:o)

Those are great pots you have them in, too. I love your Mediterranean garden plan! just beautiful!

Janey go and get a tree fern, and if you're not sure if it's going to survive, live it in the pot, then you can keep it in a safe area for the winter

Louis:

Incredible garden! Are those Dicksonia antarctica - Tasmanian ferns?

Hi Delonxix 1, Thank you for your nice comments. Yes, they are Dicksonia Antarticas, and they survive the winter, as long as I cover the crown.

Louis, I know they are on of the hardiest tree ferns...tolerating 20 degrees F./ -6.7 degrees C.
