Cyathea cooperi is an Australian native Tree Fern, and one of it's common names is the Coin Spot Tree Fern. This is because of the marks left on the trunk of the plant after the fern fronds have dropped off. This is a large plant, growing up to around 6 metres high or more in sheltered, frost-free locations such as forests. it does'nt mind growing in full sun as long as it's roots are kept moist and well-drained, but it will also grow in shaded places. A few of these planted together create a tropical feel in the garden with their elegant long fronds creating a shady canopy. They are common in the Sydney area. These ones were growing in a harbourside reserve.
