Hi all

I have a 50yr old disksonia (only had it a year though)
Its four foot high and gives about six fronds

Anyway last season the fronds died in the frost
and then came back this year

No protection needed for mine

The gardener who supplied it said
it will survive very cold extemes
as that is what it gets in its native country

HTH

Yours, like mine, are probably Dickinsonia antartica which is more hardy
than D. squarrosa. I don't do anything to protect mine in my North London
garden but I used to have a D.squarrosa which didn't survive unprotected in
my garden.
