Loooks like my tree fern is dead or dying it hasnt produce any new fronds and the middle is full of gunk that smells like cider


any tips on if its dead or can it be saved i heard you can chop them up and they re spawn but i dont know if that was real or in a dream

its a shame cos it looks really good when its all open and is an excellent feaature in the garden i have had it 4 years with no problems

i did have a palm tree in the same spot a year or 2 back i paid a fortune for it looked the business and that died too

too cold in winter methinks

Hi
Looks like one for the bin.
Two winters like in the "old" days have finihed off plenty of plants.
If you get another, in autumn stuff the top with staw and tie it up with horticultural fleece.
Hope this helps.

cheers i did mean to do that but it went out of my head until we got all the snow then i figured its a bit late now

i am still hoping atm and i am wondering why its all wet inside its heart when we have had no rain for ages

could it be tring to feed is fronds ?
