Cyathea australis 'Starter' - Boomv26a
The Cyathea australis is a tree fern which is also known as 'Rough tree fern' due to its 'Trunk' which is rough to the touch and because the leaf stalk and leaf base are covered with stumped, short spikes. 'Note: C. australis is in horticulture often confused with the faster growing, but less hardy C. cooperi'

The fern leaf is pinnate and broadly lanceolate, a shiny light gree on top and mat green-grey on the bottom. The Cyathea australis can be found in moist shadowy rain forests in the east of Australia, Tasmania and Norfolk island, along the coasts as well as up to 1200 meters above sea level. In nature they can grow up to 10 meters high. Cyathea comes from Greek 'Kyatheion' means 'Small cup' and refers to the 'Cups' in which the spores can be found. In Latin 'Australis' means 'Southerly'.
Always water the tree fern in the crown. During warm weather, moisturize the trunk to prevent dehydration. During winter frost, bind the frond and cover the trunk with fleece. Make sure to also cover the soil around the trunk. One can put thatch in the crown. The placement of Cyathea australis is in 'Partial' shade, especially the trunk is best put in shade, while the leaves can endure a little more sun. Properly permeable, nutritious soil is most suitable. A 'Small' Cyathea australis can be placed inside, with the possibility of moving it outside during summer.
