New fronds on young tree fern

Even in frozen Yorkshire, spring has sprung. 3 fronds have appeared on my young tree fern. Last year the first one appeared at the beginning of June.:D

 

wow i always wanted a tree fern ever since seeing the ones at ventnor botanic gardens (got a bit of publicity because they got stolen :( )

 

ooh brilliant john, I dont know if theres any on mine, its still wrapped up...

 

Be brave Dee. Open it up. They are quite hardy. I unwrapped mine 3 weeks ago.

 

Thank you for this useful post,did not know fern new growth was called Fronds.............

8 yes 8, new fronds, woohoo, and a huge slug:(

One question, shall i cut the old fronds off, there not bad, couple of brown tips which ive cut off..

 

Leave them for the moment. They will act as protection 'cos you know what our weather is like.

 

Yup, Could be snow tomorrow, Naa, Ill leave them, thanks John,

 

Slinky, you are nearly right, when they are just emerging, like John`s, they are called croziers. When they are fully unfurled they are called fronds.:thumb:

 

Thank you David................a little info goes a long way, Your a Gentleman

 

David I think I will continue to say 'My fronds are unfurling'. I can't really learn 'My croziers are here.' Too complicated by half.

 

I would keep the old fronds on, as long as possible, it all adds to the photosynthasis! The new fronds look very twisted, were they all wrapped up inside fleece?

 

Yes TG. will they Straighten Out? Say yes..
