Cyathea cooperi is a tall and elegant single trunked tree fern with spreading 4m fronds creating a wonderful high canopy.
It gets its name 'Coin Spot Fern' because of the smooth oval scars left on the trunk when the dead fronds fall off.
The top of the trunk, crown and frond bases are covered with soft, blond scales.
These ferns come from moist and shaded gullies of Queensland and NSW and do not cope with colder climates.
In humid areas they add a tropical/rainforest feel to shaded gardens and ferneries.
