New Zealand tree fern (Dicksonia antarctica (Soft tree fern))

Saw these everywhere on a journey round New Zealand and loved them. Now have three in my garden.

Yes the Ferns are lovely unsure of your location they need protecting against frost you need to wrap them up

They were wrapped all winter and tucked away from winds. The weather now is warm enough to remove their jackets.

Like the slab edging path to your lawn, unusual but functional. I personally don't like walking on gravel.
