Just seen a piece on tree ferns on GW. Does anyone know how fast they grow
in height? Our budget doesn't quite stretch to £150 for a tall one
but I've
seen some much shorter ones for about £30.

Thanks,

Max of around 2" a year if you're lucky and conditions are optimum.

I agree. They self seed in Brodick Castle's woodland, so they must be
happy, but still painfully slow.

Apropos all this, B&Q in Plymouth were selling 4' ones for £30 yesterday.
