Maureen fills in the remaining planting areas with umbrella grass, tree ferns and a few other varieties.
Steps1. Maureen frames the seep with super lush green foliage. Tasmania tree ferns (Dicksonia Antarctica) will do this. Tree ferns are slow growing, and get up to 15 feet high with fronds five to seven feet long (figure A). They become true trees! 2. A bunya-bunya tree (Araucaria bidwillii) is brought in (figure B). It is very prickly with the same structure you may see in a Christmas tree.
3. A maidenhair tree (Ginko biloba) is added (figure C).4. A sago palm (Cycads revolute) is extremely slow growing and gets up to eight feet tall with a three to six foot spread (figure D).
