Cyathea cooperi
Lacy tree fern, Queensland tree fern
 
Cyathea cooperi is also known as the Queensland tree fern, or more usually, lacy tree fern. It is in fact native to Australia, and grows along the coast of Queensland and New South Wales. This tree fern can reach up to 15 to 30 ft (5 to 10 m) tall in its native areas, but it will usually be up to 10 ft (3 m) tall when grown in gardens.
This showy tree fern is not one of the most frost hardy Cyathea. However, it can withstand brief negative temperatures such as 28°F down to 24°F and even 22°F, depending on the conditions.
 
The fronds of Cyathea cooperi can be up to 8' (about 2.50 m) long but will be smaller when grown in a container.
