Hopefully some idiot won't try to cut it down and replant it in their garden. Cyathea die when you try, but many people think you can transplant them like Dicksonia

Excellent to confirm this sighting Rosemary. Nice one. I agree David. It's the same the the native orchids, they basically all die if taken and re-planted because the right conditions and fungi don't exist in the target environment and can't be replicated artificially.
