After the coldest winter ever recorded, then the warm couple of weeks, followed by more cold I was most concerned about my tree ferns. Now April has been the hottest and driest on record, with only 10 % of the average rainfall in the south! April is usually a showery month here and everything grows. The tree ferns in this dry season are not that happy, and it means watering them a lot. Plus watching the weather as having clear skies, the night time temperatures have been cold to frost on some nights! However they have come back and on one of the little tree ferns has three small new fronds just starting to come out!
Here are some close ups of some on the big one.
Regards.
