Dicksonia antarctica? Please ID

17 years ago

I got this tree fern last spring at Lowe's. It was tagged "New Zealand Tree Fern" but there was also a sticker on the pot that said Dicksonia Antarctica. Not the same thing, right? It looks like a Dicks. but I'm hoping someone with alot more experience with tree ferns can either ID or give me a hint as to how I can tell. It's been growing great in a shady spot all summer. Many thanks!{{gwi:611491}} {{gwi:611493}}

Ah! I new someone would set me straight. I mistakenly thought Dicks. Ant. was the Tasmanian Tree Fern. Now that I'm sure what it is, I can be sure I'm treating it properly. Love it! Thank you.
