Dying Tree Fern

 
Hi I'm new round here and this is my first post.

I have a 6 year old dicsonia antartica which stands about 6' tall and
is planted
under a cherry tree facing north is a reasonably shady
position. it was moved
there 2 years ago from a pot.
Unfortunatly it has started to get what looks like wind burn on the
fronds and
the emerging croziers have just stopped unferling and have
blackened off and
died, i water almost every other day and feed it with
a seaweed feed every 6
weeks, i have a cycanthea australis which has
done exacly the same last year and
has been dormant this season,

Do any of you have any idea what may have caused this and how or if i
can remedy
it, or are the ferrns destined for the compost heap?


Any suggestions are most welcome.

thanks

Phil

Phosphorus and salts in general, seaweed is high in sodium. What is your
water like?

Huh?  I didn't ask a question.  I responded to someone.
