  The bottle tree has one of the most visually interesting shapes. It's botanically known as Brachychiton rupestris, it's a member of the Malvaceae family and is also commonly known as the Queensland bottle tree, or narrow leaf bottle tree. The common name derives from the tree's shape, which becomes bottle-like as it ages at between five and eight years of age. Some people believe the tree is hollow but the swelling is due to the water held in its trunk. The bottle tree is semi-deciduous and reaches 18 to 20 meters. But if grown in cooler regions it's usually smaller. The leaves are about a hundred millimeters long and these drop from the tree before flowering. The bell-shaped, or campanulate, yellowish flowers usually form between October and December in clusters at the end of the branches. Source: www.abc.net.au/gardening/how-to/bottle-trees/9428532

Two men standing amongst fenced graves next to a large boab tree, Queensland

from State Library of Queensland

• Vesna Verencevic said:

  The Australian boab tree (Adansonia gregorii) is related to the Madagascan and African baobabs. It’s sometimes called a bottle tree, and it does look similar to the Queensland bottle tree (Brachychiton rupestris) though it’s no relation. A mature boab tree is a majestic sight. Though it doesn't grow exceptionally tall, just up to 15 metres, the trees appear huge because of their swollen trunks. These can reach 20 metres in diameter. They are slow-growing and long-lived so that many of those around Broome and the Kimberly, and from Darwin to Katherine, were mature long before white settlers first marvelled at their majesty.
