Brachychiton populneus - Bottle Tree

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.
