Cyathea medullaris, or Sphaeropteris medullaris, is a species of tree fern native to Australia and New Zealand. It is a large and fast-growing species that can reach 20 metres in height. One of the most remarkable characteristics of this tree fern is the black colour of its robust trunk and rachis, in contrast to the pale green colour of its fronds, which begin to grow in a fiddlehead shape covered with dense, black scales that come off easily in the rain. The fronds can reach 6.5 metres in length and two metres in width.
It is, and with good reason, one of gardeners and landscapers’ favourite tree ferns due to its impressive size and the deep black colour of its trunk.
This species, like many others, has variations among its specimens. Our Cyathea medullaris are specimens that notably show the species’ most remarkable characteristics; they come from a carefully selected parent plant that always surprises viewers with its impressive size and quick growth rate, as well as the intensity of its black colour.
Cyathea medullaris is a hardy tree fern that prefers a bright location, as long as it is supplied with enough water, as it is a fast-growing species. Although it is always advisable to avoid direct sunlight at peak hours, it loves the sun in the earliest and latest hours of the day.
