Doin' the Happy Fern Dance!

I bought an Australian tree fern and 2 Tazmanian tree ferns on Craig's List that are 30 years old. My son and I dug them up and brought them home and now they are planted out back in a shady spot. The Australian tree fern is as tall as the house and all the fronds have turned brown because of the intense heat last week, but my gardener says that it will be OK. If it dies I'm going to paint it green and string lights on it, but I'm not going to dig it up. All 3 were tremendously heavy and there is no way I could have handled the planting myself.

Now I can visualize many smaller spieces grouped around them. Off to the garden center!!!
