I too, thought I had planned okay for the fern tree, and must admit was quite unprepared for the explosive growth this plant is capable of. These fronds are so vast that they span 15 feet from one end of a frond to the other side of the other frond. I never dreamed it would conflict with the bird of paradise next to it, let alone be poking me in the eye where I have my garden chair at! Last year, I was looking down at this plant and it was less than a 5 foot span.

There was no trunk at the beginning of 2007 on this fern tree.
Enjoy! I sure have. It's my favorite!
