Default Struggling to find homes for New Zealand Tree ferns 8ft to10ft tall. PLEASE HELP

I bought over from New Zealand last year a container of Squarrosa Tree
Ferns varying in size from 7ft tall to nearly 10ft tall.

I thought there was a market for these taller ferns and since spending
the past six months potting, watering and feeding them all and I am
now struggling to find homes for them.

Can anybody within this group recommend me onto buyers who are already
selling these ferns or even better individuals that would have a big
enough garden to show these lovely ferns off in.

It will be so sad if they were to die.

My website for information about my ferns is
www.malinso.com

I look forward to hearing from you all soon.

Thank you

John & Sharon Barden


Try Trecanna nursery in Cornwall who do sell them, but Cornwall is one of
the few places you can grow them, they are much less hardy than Dicksonia

The OP could also try KobaKoba and Mulu, and Trevena Cross. The other
solution would be to look in the Plant Finder for a current supplier and off
them to him/her.
