I got a 3 5ft tree ferns for the garden last August. When one of them was being planted, it fell over. It did not appear damaged at the time but I notice that there is no new growth on this tree this year. There are 3 budding fern leaves in the trunk core but they are black. I don't know how long they have been like this. I only started looking at them as the weather improved. The other two trees are in the same area and doing well.Do you think this may be a sign that trunk broke internally when it fell? The ferns that were on it when it arrived stayed green until recently and they are now browning.Thanks in advance Margaret Murphy
