This unique tree from Queensland, Australia makes an interesting container plant or a stately specimen in areas where it can be planted in the ground. When planted outside in warm zones, the truck remains straight with thin palmate leaves, and over many years it swells into the shape of a bottle. Australian Bottle Tree is a resilient plant tolerating dry conditions and a cramped root system. The older leaves fall in the spring as the new growth starts. A generally small tree with a trunk that is typically swollen at the base. Grows up to 60 feet in the wild. Leaves are narrowly dissected (finger-like). As a drought-deciduous succulent tree, B. rupestris adapts readily to cultivation and is tolerant of a range of soils and temperatures. Bottle trees are commonly found planted in streets and parks, on farms, and as features in gardens.
