Tree Fern - Cycad

Earlier this year we had to move our very old tree fern to widen our side entry to our property.
I showed photos of this same plant, which we thought had died.
However, three days ago we saw a the tiniest set of shoots on the top of the old stump.
Have look at what three days growth looks like.
I will try to keep tabs on it & do follow up photos to show its progress. I can't believe how fast it's growing :O

Oh don't you just love that sort of thing! Nature has a woonderful way of rejuvenating. A lovely plant to have and look forward to seeing its progress.

Great work! Isn't that lovely. And thanks for your comments earlier.

[Eva Needham]

That's amazing! Wonderful plants - so glad it survived

[Diana Moss]

Amazing how fast it is growing, good job you moved it

[Rick Schies]

They are cool looking. Do they bloom? It looks like they would open up into a really large plant.

@digitalrn These plants grow to about 3 metres across hen the fronds open out mature - quite a large plant.

You can't kill it even if you tried. that is amazing..just looked at what was left over in the other picture. this new growth is already way high..how tall does it grow to

beautifully taken Lois...stunning!

That's going to be a beauty, and it certainly doesn't look like the move affected it adversely! These are very ancient specimens, aren't they? Another of those wonderful Australian novelties!

This looks like a plant from the age of the dinosaurs. I'll bet its species dates back to that period. Very cool.

OH WOW -- I looked at your previous pic link and it completely amazing that this is the same plant !!!! This is only 3 days worth of growth -- stunning -- I wonder if it is related to the beanstalk in the fairy tale "Jack and the Beanstalk". I agree with Allison in that it seems like a prehistoric type plant. It will be interesting to see future pics of this unusual fern.
