Default Tree Ferns hardiness

All the usual gardening programs suggested wrapping the fern in a wire mesh,
inside which you stick a mass of straw. As far as I know though the only
growing point is the very tip or the plant, and thus it's really only this
that should need protection. Mind you this was an Antartica species.

I think if it's fairly small still then bringing it indoors or into a
greenhouse is probably the safest bet.
