Tree fern planting ideas
Friendly neighbours for our tree ferns
Ferns/Palms/Cycads > Tree fern planting ideas
We have two beautiful tree ferns that have miraculously survived over the years in our Melbourne garden. I’m looking to plant something nearby to them to help screen our fence and also maybe give some shade to the tree ferns. I was thinking a Bangalow Palm or giant bird of paradise. I like the look of them but don’t know if they are appropriate or not. Any ideas!? :)
I'd suggest a Golden Cane Palm (Chrysalidocarpus lutescens) which will provide low and medium level cover of the fence due to its clumping nature and in time some taller shoots will provide some shade for your Tree Ferns. They'll also look good together.
