    That's nice - you rarely see the old fronds left on - I like that look.

    Nice tree fern. Too bad this species melts here.

    Thanks, My friends family was visiting NZ and that's the way they saw them in the wild so he does it that way too. 

    Lots of good stuff going on in these photos.  Does it get protected at all, and if so how?

    If it does get cold he covers up the crown and that all. This tree fern is close to Puget Sound and the garden is rated 8b but hasn't been below 25F in 8 years.

    I picked up a 1 gallon for $12 and planted in a protected spot back in Feb or March, I figured at that price it was worth trying.  This is the only plant I have that I feel I will need to protect on the coldest nights.  Right now while its small I'm going to throw a large pot over it but later on if it gets larger I was thinking burlap and a tarp or bubble wrap over the crown.
