Wearing His Winter Coat  by susiemc

Wearing His Winter Coat

This tree fern is all trussed up ready for the cold weather and inevitable frosts. It would survive a normal winter without any problem but these days we seem to get such extremes of temperature so Chris isn't taking any chances. In our previous garden we lost two tree ferns, among other things, during a particularly harsh winter. and we don't want it to happen again.
Timely reminder to wrap my Living Memorials.

I am sure it appreciates your care and attention, maybe a hot water bottle too.

I imagine a tree fern would have to be hardy in your climate. Nice shot of this one in its winter garb.

Very well dressed, let's hope we don't have a harsh winter this year.

I hope it stays warm in in its Winter coat and continues to flourish when the warm weather returns :)

@stownsend Actually Susie our ‘caring’ is money driven......tree ferns are expensive!

This is a beautiful fern ...Wonderful that you are taking such good care of it! I had never heard of tree ferns, so I looked them up on the web and found that they are quite fascinating plants!

wow, I would never have thought of a winter coat for a plant - ingenious!

You are such a good gardener.

Certainly looks cozy! My husband wrapped some plants one Winter but forgot to water them and they all died!
