a disaster rescued
The seedlings arrived in a very poor state and only one will survive. I contacted Dobies who swiftly arranged for me to be sent replacements. Thank you, Dobies!

The plug plants were in excellent condition, ready to be potted on, and are now growing on ready to be planted out in the garden later in the year. Excellent value for money.

We do apologise that there was some confusion with regards to your tree fern, we can see that a substitute was arranged instead which is how the order was able to get out to you quicker and we can see that you were happy with this and we apologise that the letters were sent out incorrectly. Our website should have clear growing guides to help you to care for your plant and we apologise if you were not aware of this. Kind Regards, Amy, Dobies Customer Care

Hello Amy,
I can see no growing guide on your website for tree ferns. Your original offer did not make it clear that there would be no roots or fronds - and just a trunk. The slip of paper provided with the tree ferns was minimal and inadequate. Any link to the growing guide should have been explicit and the link provided. I am not convinced that these trunks are going to take. Perhaps you can give assurrance on that. Have I just wasted an awful lot of money?

I am sorry if you were not aware of the way in which this product is supplied.
The growing instruction regarding the Australian Tree Fern are not on our website so I do apologise. I have copied below some information you may find useful.
Plant Dicksonia Antarctica plants in reliably moist, rich fertile, preferably acid soil. Choose a damp sheltered position in dappled or semi shade. A woodland situation is ideal. Alternatively, plant Tree Ferns in containers of humus rich soil that can be moved outdoors in summer and returned to a greenhouse or conservatory over winter.
Tree Ferns originate from the humid forests of Australia where they enjoy high levels of rainfall. When growing Tree Ferns it is recommended that the entire crown and stem be sprayed with water regularly, even after establishment. A liquid fertiliser can be applied in the same way from the second year after planting. During hot weather the trunk should be watered daily to maintain adequate moisture levels.
Dicksonia Antarctica is hardy to -5C (23F). To protect it from particularly cold winter weather, pack the crown with straw and hold in place with chicken wire, in late autumn before tying up the fronds and wrapping the entire plant and stem with horticultural fleece, do not use bubble wrap as this will keep the plant too damp and may rot it. Unwrap it once or twice throughout winter to turn the straw and discourage mould.
If there are any problems with the development of this product please do not hesitate to contact our customer care team directly. Kindest regards, Naomi, Dobies Customer Care.
