Bottle tree in Kilkivan

from State Library of Queensland

• 7 older comments, and then…
• Vesna Verencevic said:

  This beautifully sculptural plant will undergo a number of physiological changes as it matures. The stem will develop it's characteristic bottle shape after about 5 years and the leaves will change from finely palmate to elliptical. They will drop their leaves before flowering in October - December each year once they are mature. The flowers are yellowish in colour and campanulate in shape (which is botany speak for bell shaped with petals that flare outward).

  Kilkivan is a small town nestled in the eastern slopes of the Great Dividing Range and on the bank of Wide Bay Creek. Historically it boomed during a brief goldrush - the area is rich in minerals - but today it is a quiet rural centre, with attractive parks and interesting heritage buildings, which services the beef and cattle farmers in the surrounding district.

Bottle tree cut down for food in the Blenheim district 1907

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  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.
