What is Dicksonia?
Dicksonia is a genus of fern trees with about 25 species originating in parts of Central America and Oceania, as well as the island of St. Helena in the southern Atlantic Ocean. It is a very old family that is believed to be at least 65 million years ago. The genus shows its greatest diversity on the island of New Guinea, which has five types of Dicksonia .
commonly called the highest quality tree species, dicksonia Antarctica is originally from Australia and is the easiest to cultivate Dicksonia. It can be reproduced from spores or cuttings and is decorated as a house or garden plant or for use in landscaping. d. Antarctica can grow up to 50 feet (15 meters), but usually only about a third of this size.
Ferly soft trees grow preferably in organic soil, in areas with abundant precipitation and mild temperatures. Is tolerant to fire. The starch marrow inner side of the trunk can be eaten, either raw or cooked.
Fern of New Zealand or Dicksonia squarrosa , as it suggests, is originally from New Zealand, although it is also cultivated as a garden plant behind its native range. The new Zealand tree can reach a height of 20 feet (6 meters). It is a durable and fast -growing plant. The wind and the sun tolerates quite well, but it will be best with some protection against elements. The leaves are dry to the touch and grow at the top of the plant, giving the New Zealand tree to a palm as a look.
The tree ferns, Dicksonia Youngaie , were originally from Australia. It is one of the least hardy members of the family, vulnerable to heat and wind. The wider ferns of the tree grows to a height of 14 feet (4 meters) and has more strains. Her leaves are rich in green and her fiddhedeads, unlimited leaves, are covered with coarse red hairs.dicksonia arborescens or fern St. Helena Tree, grows only on the islandSt. Helena and has a vulnerable state of protection. It is also important for many other endangered endemic species that rely on a tree fern for hiding and a place for seedlings. Young plants germinate or hatch on the trunk of fern St. Helena Tree.
