Cyathea australis
Image by: Kevin Sparrow
An upright tree fern that has arching fronds 2-4 metres long, with a long frown base covered in small sharp projections. It is grown in moist shady areas such as ferneries and will take slightly drier soils than the soft tree fern but will require summer watering in these areas.
