Helen,
It is a Dicksonia antartica (Tasmanian treefern). A friend of mine found them on clearance at a HD just outside Atlanta. It has started forming a trunk, only about 6" right now. We got them for about $20 a piece. From my understanding there are several large specimens in and around the metro Atlanta area. I also have heard of quite a few in the Northern CA area as well. Please, let all your friends know that we, Americans, love them too, so don't buy them all up. LOL
