PLANT PROFILE

Brachychiton rupestris, widely known as the Bottle Tree, is an iconic Australian native valued for its unmistakable swollen trunk, which stores water and enables exceptional drought tolerance. This sculptural feature makes it a standout in dry-climate gardens, civic landscapes, and rural properties seeking a bold botanical statement.

Its narrow, deep green leaves contrast beautifully with its broad trunk, and clusters of subtle yellow-green bell-shaped flowers appear in early summer. With an upright, open canopy and low-maintenance requirements, it suits both formal and naturalistic designs.

Looks excellent when used as a specimen tree in open lawn areas or integrated into dry-climate plantings where its form can be fully appreciated.

How to Plant Brachychiton rupestris

  2. Soil Prep: Though adaptable to various soils, a well-draining mix is ideal.
  3. Hole Dimensions: Roughly twice the diameter of the root ball.
  4. Planting: Set the tree in the hole, ensuring it's straight, then fill with soil and press down gently.
