Author Message   Whis4ey  My Garden Posted on Monday, May 23, 2005 - 08:45 am EST :    I bought this fern at Chelsea Flower Show about 6 years ago. it was about 5 feet or more tall, and cost £100 on offer at the show. It was delivered free of charge, as the company were exhibiting at Belfast show a couple of weeks later I planted it about a foot or so into the ground, and it has done very well for me. For a few winters, I wrapped it in various layers of foam etc as a protection, but it hasn't been so cold this past two years, so it has been able to fend for itself quite well. We would probably be a zone 6 or 7 over here, with the benefit of warmth from the Warm Gulf Stream up the west coast of Ireland It is very slow growing Whis4ey - Antrim, Zone "6/7"   Galanthophile  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Friday, May 27, 2005 - 02:06 pm EST :    It looks fantastic! Are there other tree ferns there too? What did you think of the Chelsea Flower Show? I wish it would get better coverage on TV - I'd like to see more of the plants and less of so called celebrities!

I had another (just about where the pic is taken from) that died in its first year. £30 too (ouch) Chelsea was terrific, but once you have been there, there has been no urge to go back until about now LOL Whis4ey - Antrim, Zone "6/7"   Treelover  My Favorite Photo My Garden Posted on Saturday, June 04, 2005 - 08:35 am EST :    Fantastic plants these-I would love one but theyre so expensive!
