Bottle Tree (Brachychiton rupestris) in Terracotta UFO Pot

Bottle Tree
Brachychiton rupestris

Height: 2.1m / Ø: 60cm

Single Australian native over ten years old, with an exposed caudex and elongated trunk, rising to a broad, lightly layered canopy.

Set in a low-profile terracotta UFO pot, finished with fossilised stone and gravel at the surface. The wide, shallow form emphasises the base of the tree and its sculptural root structure.

Care

Bright light. Allow the potting mix to largely dry out between waterings, typically 7–14 days depending on season and temperature. When watering, thoroughly wet the entire root ball.

Leaf drop during cooler months is normal.

No saucer. When used indoors, water outdoors or in a sink and allow the pot to drain freely before returning to position.
