Tree ferns

Ideas please. We have eventually returned from a holiday in New Zealand and loved their tree ferns which appeared to grow like weeds everywhere. In our medium sized garden we would love to have a couple to provide height and interest. The main problem being our garden doesn’t have any actual sheltered areas. So, is there such a tree fern or similar with nice large fronds that doesn’t mind being in full sun and exposed to some winds. Thank you for any help in this.

    Welcome to the forums.
    Sorry cannot think of any  tree fern what would be happy in exposed, sunny position.

    Very informative

  • These are fully exposed to sun all day (not today!😠). Some wise soul on the forum will be able to ID
  • Doh!! Just realised they're not tree ferns! Better go to specsavers!
