Many thanks one and all for your instant response to my quiery, I look forward to more conversation on this site. In fact here is a quick one. I have an Australian Tree Fern, grows here in Bognor Regis no problem. During the last two winter's the leaves gradually went black with the frost and as recommended in the early Spring I cut them off to allow new growth. This year has been mild and the leaves are as green as they were last Summer, should still cut them off in Spring or can I leave them so as to create a double bank of leaves, many thanks.
But I think you should start a new thread with this query and put tree fern into the thread title. That way people who know about tree ferns will see it and reply.

Nut, you are so helpfull, create a new post for anyone who has knowledge on that will see it - it may be lost on this thread).
And if your lucky Kieth, Nut may even bring you a cuppa and some cake..
Delighted Dave its nearly that time now, well perhaps another hour. I have a lovely photo of my garden this winter in the snow, which didn't last 5 mins.
Cerinthes looked very poor here last year, probably the excessive wet so I'll give them another chance. You're right Verdun, they'll be here whatever I do.
I designed my garden Dave & company to acheive an all round year of greenery. The tree to the left of the palm is an olive tree, never really had any fruit to talk about, Im told the winds in West Sussex are to strong for olives, however I feed all my tree's with seaweed fertilizer and it keeps them healthy, when the better weather comes I will show you all more of my sub-tropical paradise.

I'll see what I can do about the cake Dave.
