Tam, our tree fern, brings a prehistoric vibe to your outdoor space - like something you'd find in Jurassic Park. In fact, the fossil history of Tam dates back 250 million years, which is 50 million years before the beginning of the Jurassic Period. Pretty cool.
Native to Australia and New Zealand, Tam the tree fern is a sought after outdoor plant - and no wonder, considering his rich history and stunning foliage.
Tam doesn't ask too much, just that you give him a bit of shade and keep his soil moist.
