Dicksonia antarctica
Soft tree fern
The trunk is an upright rhizome sheathed in a thick mass of roots, and from its crown the green fronds arch out to 1 or 4 metres across. Dicksonia antarctica holds its foliage through the winter in mild climates and reaches 2 to 6 metres in height where conditions suit.

About sizes
CLT is a container volume in litres, VRL the same in a decorative red container. M is a field-grown plant lifted with its root ball, MGR the same grown in isolation and wire-balled. RN is bare root, available in the dormant season. T is a full standard and POT a planter. Heights are given as a range in centimetres; trunk girth is the circumference measured at one metre. A larger container is not always dearer: a trained or grafted form of the same volume costs more than a bush, and the form is named on the row.
