Sandra:

Glad to hear it! Is is a Dicksonia antarctica tree fern?

yes it is Delonix...some people wrap them in the winter but ours do just fine...

Sandra:

It still amazes me this tree fern can tolerate snow and cold temps. We grow a lot of Dicksonia squarrosa and several species native to New Caledonia.
