My tree fern now has about 8 inches of "trunk" and the crown spreads across
about 4 ft. I bought it as a baby at Loch Fyne 7 or 8 years ago, and it has
never spend a winter indoors. I keep it in a walled (court)yard, only about
50 yards from the sea (at high tide). I keep any lower fronds I cut off as
they turn brown, and lightly scrunch them into the crown as the weather
starts to turn.
