Smile Care for Treeferns

Good morning, I am new to this forum and I wonder if there is anyone out there that may give some advice about care for Treeferns?

We have had a Treefern (Dicksonia Antarctica) since 2005.

Unfortunately the plant suffered greatly during the harsh winter and I was unable to save most of the fronds from dying.

Now that spring is here the plant is now mainly a stump (the tree part) and a couple of small fronds with a small amount of green showing.

I think I can detect some frond forming activity in the stump, but nothing has appeared as yet.

I know that in garden centres you can actually buy treeferns in this state (stump only no fronds), but I was wondering if there is anything I can do to bring it back to life?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

John
