i think its dead...:-(

Is this your treefern Sandra?

the smallest one...its been in 4 years now..my mum has three big one is doing fine ..middle one is so-so..but im sure this one has had it...

What a shame :( so expensive, have you felt inside? If its dead, dont dig it up, you can drill a hole out the top and put a pot with a fern inside, ive seen it done on another garden forum and it looks great :)

i'm still secretly hoping Ydd...its still dry and furry inside..fern in a pot sounds like a plan ..thanks

One of mine is just unfurling now (late) . There's still hope for yours, I wouldn't do anything drastic yet :) keeping my fingers crossed for you..

thanks ..they were my mums 70th birthday prezzy...she loves them..

Awwwww, ill keep my toes crossed as well Sandra, Tell your mum she has good taste lol...

Sandra:

What kind of fern was it?

dicksonia antartica...a bit too arctic this winter for them..:-(

Sandra:

I'm sorry to hear about your Dicksonia antartica!

This fern and Dicksonia squarrosa along with many other species from New Caledonia, New Guinea are grown here, also.

at least we still have a few..only one died

Sometimes it will put out a new plant from the roots.

wow i didnt know that...thanks :-)

I felt sorry for this photo...
it didn't have a "like"...
so I gave it just one little "like"...LOL.

He he Tt, Did it get any fronds Sandra?

Sandra:

Yes, inquiring minds want to know. lol! :>) Did your fern grow new fronds?

no im afraid not....but the others look lovely and have been enjoying the rain. but i wonder why this one died....we have four O.K. three now...lol and the others are fine. they are all planted in the same soil facing the same way...but i have to say this one is more cramped in by other plants so maybe they need space around them.

Sandra:

I'm sorry it didn't come back! :>(
