Thanks for your input, Jack, but I really do not believe these that the garden center have are Dicksonia, as Monrovia carries both the Tasmanian and the Austrailian tree fern and these are labelled as Aussie's. Have been trying to learn the difference, but so far no luck. Wish it were a Tasmanian, as they are hardier aren't they. Don't all tree ferns have roots along the trunks? Again, I appreciate your input...
