PLANT PROFILE

Brachychiton populneus, commonly known as the Bottle Tree or Kurrajong, is a hardy Australian native recognised for its unique bottle-shaped trunk and lush green foliage. This evergreen species is drought-tolerant and highly suited to dry climates, offering strong performance with minimal maintenance.

Its glossy, lance-shaped leaves remain attractive year-round, while small, bell-shaped flowers appear in summer, adding seasonal interest. With its upright form and sculptural trunk, the Bottle Tree makes an excellent feature in rural gardens, urban landscapes, or water-wise designs.


Mature Height: 10m - 20m Approximately

Mature Width: 5m – 10m

Approx. 30 – 60 cm per year

Hedging & Screening: Not suitable – upright, swollen trunk not ideal for screening

Feature Tree: 4 m – 6 m – Requires space to show off bottle-shaped trunk

Avenue Planting Trees: 6 m – 8 m – Works well in dry regions for structure and impact

How to Plant Brachychiton populneus

  1. Location Selection: Opt for a spot with good sunlight and well-draining soil.
  2. Soil Preparation: While adaptable, it thrives in well-drained soil.
  3. Digging: Excavate a hole approximately twice the diameter of the root ball.
  4. Planting: Set the tree in the hole, backfill with soil, and tamp down gently.
  5. Initial Watering: Water generously immediately after planting.

Use this as a reference when digging your planting hole. We recommend digging at least 10% wider than the dimensions below to encourage strong root development.
