I've got Billbergia nutans and distachya growing just below the crown
now and they seem to enjoy the 'perch'. Davallia fejeensis clambers
about the trunk, but does not produce quite as thick a mass of leaves
as I'd originally hoped.


I have been thinking about those for our large Cordylines but I'm not sure
about their hardiness if we keep getting frosty winters like this and last
years.
Where did you get yours from?
