Dicksonia fibrosa has a red-brown, fibrous trunk that is frequently accompanied by a tidy cluster of dead fronds at its base. Its crown is cone-shaped but inverted. It has the ability to withstand both sun and shade, as well as moderate levels of frost, wind, and drought. Dicksonia fibrosa is indigenous to lowland and hill areas located south of the central North Island and can typically be found at elevations of up to approximately 800m. Dicksonia fibrosa is evergreen and native to New Zealand.

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.
