Brachychiton Rupestris Queensland Bottle Tree

Brachychiton rupestris, known as the Queensland Bottle Tree, can be grown in Melbourne with proper care. Plant in a sunny spot with well-draining soil, as this tree prefers warm and dry conditions. Water regularly, especially during the establishment period, but allow the soil to dry out between waterings to prevent root rot.

The Queensland Bottle Tree is drought-tolerant once established. It can grow up to 10 meters tall and 5 meters wide, so ensure it has enough space to thrive. Prune lightly in late winter to early spring to maintain its shape and promote new growth. This tree produces unique bottle-shaped trunks and attractive green foliage, adding a striking and exotic look to the garden. It is relatively low-maintenance and pest-resistant, making it a great choice for Melbourne gardens.
