Dicksonia squarrosa is known for its resilience among tree ferns, being able to tolerate some full sun (excluding strong afternoon sun during the warmer months), drier soils, and light winds. Additionally, it can withstand moderate frosts. Dicksonia squarrosa has a black trunk, and its crown is flatter, with shorter leaf fronds, making it ideal for smaller gardens. Dicksonia squarrosa is typically found in lowland and hill forests across the country, including Stewart Island, Chatham Island, and Three Kings Islands, at elevations of up to around 800m. Dicksonia squarrosa is evergreen and native to New Zealand. Learn more about Dicksonia squarrosa.
