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.

Gayndah Court House is a heritage-listed courthouse at 20 Capper Street, Gayndah, North Burnett Region, Queensland, Australia. It was designed by the Queensland Department of Public Works and built in 1928. It was added to the Queensland Heritage Register on 13 January 1995. Gayndah Court House is a typical example of the work of the Public Works Department and is a continuation of the tradition of timber court houses in Queensland country towns, adapting to civic function vernacular elements and materials common to domestic buildings. The building has a T-shaped plan, with offices along the front and the courtroom at the rear.[1] The grounds of the courthouse contain a number of bottle trees, Brachychiton spp.[1] Other important buildings in the town precinct include the two timber banks, the two hotels, and the Shire Offices.
