The Brachychiton rupestris, commonly known as the Bottle Tree, is a distinctive Australian native tree renowned for its pronounced bottle-shaped trunk. The thick trunk acts as a water reservoir, allowing the tree to thrive in dry climates. Coupled with its unique appearance, the Bottle Tree serves as a stunning focal point in gardens, landscapes, and urban settings. Its relatively sparse, upward-reaching branches and long, narrow green leaves further accentuate its intriguing shape, while clusters of yellowish-green bell-shaped flowers bloom in early summer, adding to its allure.
