Aboriginal people made use of the trees by eating the roots of young plants and by consuming secretions from the trunk that were induced by wounds.[36] Fibre obtained from the species was used to make nets.[37] The leaves have also been used for fodder,[36] and Queensland farmers often leave bottle trees as a potential food source when land is cleared.[3] During drought conditions, whole trees have been felled to feed stock. The soft edible pulp inside the trunk is exposed by removing the bark.[36] The pulp is energy-rich but protein-poor, and occasional cases of nitrate poisoning have led to cattle deaths.
