Tree ferns Pictures by treesandthings

Feel like im on HOLIDAY in TURKEY NOW :D Trees&Things lol

They are fantastic. Do they come through the winter without needing wrapping?

For the last two years I have got away with just stuffing straw into the crown. But then we have not had any snow or really hard frosts this year. The pic was taken yesterday.

they are fantastic! even at a reduced price i bet they still cost a few bob - but well worth it i would imagine!

You are lucky not to have had much frost, we don't most years here is W.Somerset, but I've lost some plants this year as we have had several hard frosts and I wasn't ready to protect everything! ;-(

Super. As you have already said, we seem to be able to get away with the minimun of winter and frost protection, as our winters seem to be getting warmer.I have just used a light wrap with fleece this year so far.

Hi Treesandthings I like the word 'Cheap' or should I say my hubby does!But could you enlighten us on just how cheap these chaps were? Please? Hel.xxx.

The little ones were £40 each the big one cost £100. Big Plant Nursery north of Brighton is a good place to start.

Yep thats a great price for the 6 footer if I can get one near to that size and for that kind of money I will be dead chuffed...I have seen a 5 footer for about £90 but that's counting the size of the container as well although truth be told I think I'll keep mine (when I get them that is) in containers that way if the weather turns really, really bad I can move them to a safer place.Thanks for your reply.Hel.xx.
