The tallest and most common of NZ’s tree ferns. Slender, black trunk to apx 15m with hexagonal patterns from old fronds, large crown of gracefully arching fronds up to 5m. Found primarily in sheltered coastal and lowland forest throughout much of the North Island. They will grow in full sun but still prefer to have a sheltered position with a cool moist root run. |
