Making new fronds!
Originally uploaded by emagen
As I have had vast numbers of people contacting this blog concerned that last winter (UK) had killed-off all their Tree Fern's fronds and fearing for the very survival of their plants, I thought I would post this photo, taken today, of one of my Tree Ferns making new fronds.
This particular Tree Fern is quite exposed and has had no protection from the cold. A smaller Tree Fern of mine is in a much more sheltered position but its new, coiled fronds are, as yet, barely visible.
So, I hope all Dicksonia antarctica's will have survived the cold winter.
Here's to old and new fronds everywhere!
