About Fern Tree

Glossy fern-like leaves on a neat, dome-shaped evergreen crown. Specimen trees are chosen for form and character. Use one as a focal point and build the garden around it. Our Fern Tree trees are grown to 10–16 ft so you get a finished look on planting day, without waiting years for a sapling to mature.

Planting a mature Fern Tree

Position first and view it from the main approach before backfilling. Use a well-drained backfill and stake discreetly until established.

Care after planting

Water deeply but let the topsoil dry between waterings. Feed lightly twice a year and avoid heavy pruning so the natural form develops.
