Big ferns and palms do better when you remove just about all of the leaves save for the ones in the center after transplanting. Glad to see yours transitioned successfully.
Thank you, that is great advice. I was worried about it and happy that it survived. My neighbors did a lot of work digging it up and bringing it to my garden.
I appreciate having someone with lots of experience helping with me with garden advice. I have received lots of great advice from viewers like you and my garden has thrived because of it.👍
@@Tropifornia Once I helped the police arrest someone for selling endangered African tree ferns which he had gone and ripped out of their natural environment and was trying to sell me. They all transplanted successfully, even though they had no roots - he had chopped them off at the base of the trunk. I made sure the trunks were always saturated for around two months and then they started to sprout a new crown of leaves. I fed them with a good organic liquid fertilizer when the leaves started to unroll. I find that when the tree ferns,(all species) are established they can tolerate periods of dryness and are quite cold and drought hardy but prefer humidity. I have seen many in the wilds nearby riverbanks, where they can reach awesome sizes. Anyway the criminals were let off on a technicality and they managed to get my home address during the preliminary court proceedings, and visited my place a few days later. Luckily my two staffies didn't like that idea and sent them packing with quite a few bite marks - it was actually quite funny as they tried to get back over the wall, with the dogs swinging off of their ankles... lol Anyway it's really my pleasure to share and I wish you all the best with your gardening .
That was a great story, I laughed so much at the ending! My tree fern grew fronds in the fall and winter, bun none in the summer. Is that normal? I'm thinking that it's not getting enough shade from my house, so it's not thriving like it did during the cooler months.
Me too! I just talked to the neighbor that gave it to me, and she said the fronds were twice as large in her backyard. So I'm hoping it will grow even more!
It’s still alive, some of the older fronds are drying up and turning brown. I planted it near my house so that it could get shade, but I don’t think it has enough shade to really thrive. You can see it near the end from one of my recent videos. ruclips.net/video/BRKTYzE3orM/видео.html
So glad it is doing well! It will be lush in summer!
Thanks, I think it will really stand out in my garden this summer!

@@Tropifornia Only a pleasure my friend. Just passing down some advice after 25 years of being a landscaper :) Have a lovely day!

I am glad it came back to life. It didn't want to give up.

@@Tropifornia I hope it will grow bigger leaf, best of luck to you.
It is going to be a nice bush tree fern 💪👍 best regards 🙏 ☀️ 🌴
It seems to have more fronds growing, I’m just happy it’s alive.
Where did the baby fern come from? And where do you live?
I’m in Northern California. I got the baby fern from a local nursery.
@@Tropifornia ok thanks. I just bought two cyathea cooperi and I’m in Southern California
Update on it please
