"Australian Treefern"
(Sphaeropteris cooperi)
Source
The gossamer Australian tree fern is one of the most unique trees for a shady spot, but in no way is it low maintenance.
This is a high moisture plant requiring a daily light shower to keep it healthy and beautiful...though it doesn't want its roots overwatered.
Like most ferns, it's an understory plant with lacy foliage that likes shade, dappled shade, or a little morning sunshine.

A tree fern needs lots of room...it's a jumbo-sized fern that spreads as much as 15 feet wide - and eventually forms a tree trunk under its tropical canopy.
The trunk itself is made up of fuzzy rootlets that like to be hosed down often - every day if you can.
New growth emerges in a large fuzzy brown curl that unfurls to form a giant fern frond.

Wear gloves and long sleeves when handling, since small hairs on the stalks and undersides of the leaves can cause skin irritations.
Avoid placing by a swimming pool where spores and tiny hairs can fall into the water and might irritate a swimmer's skin.
These trees are evergreen and do best in full to partial shade. They're slow growers to about 15 feet tall by 8 feet or more wide.
