Cyathea cunninghamii is a slender-trunked grower, similar to Cyathea smithii, but when mature, it has a clean trunk without the skirt of dead frond stalks seen on Cyathea smithii. It naturally grows in damp forest areas, particularly in stream gullies and riverbanks. However, it has a lower tolerance for drought than other tree fern species, and it prefers to grow in moist environments. Cyathea cunninghamii is evergreen and native to New Zealand in the North Island, South Island, and Chatham Islands and also to the states of Victoria, New South Wales, Queensland, and Tasmania in Australia.

Stem

This is a general guide. When a plant flowers, fruits and colours up depends on the climate where you live and on the season. If timing matters, please reach out to our team.

Foliage Type

Evergreen plants retain foliage year-round but still shed and replace some leaves gradually as part of their normal growth cycle, rather than losing them all at once.

Deciduous plants shed all their leaves for part of the year (usually in autumn and winter), usually in response to colder temperatures or dry seasons, often producing seasonal colour before leaf drop.

Semi-evergreen plants sit between the two, keeping most of their foliage but losing some or all leaves briefly under cooler or drier conditions before quickly regrowing them.
