Brachychiton ‘Queensland Bottle Tree’ (Brachychiton rupestris)

Description

The Queensland Bottle is an unusual deciduous tree that has a note-worthy bottle shaped trunk that becomes more pronounced with age, similar to a Boab tree. It produces large seed pods which follow the small flowers. This is a tough tree that flowers in late Spring.

Queensland Bottle is a perfect specimen for large lawns or park like gardens. Thrives in well drained soils and open, sunny positions. Can tolerate dry conditions.
