In the wild, these sculptural trees reach up to 20 meters, exhibiting a semi-deciduous nature where they gracefully shed their narrow foliage in late September before beautifully regenerating with vibrant new growth in mid-October. A vital resource for Indigenous Australians, the tree has long been used to tap stored water during drought, harvest seeds and roots for sustenance, and process its fibrous inner bark into nets and twine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"10\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"11\"\u003ePLACEMENT \u0026amp; LIGHT\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"12\"\u003eHighly adaptable to both interior and exterior spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"13\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,0,0\"\u003eIndoors:\u003c\/b\u003e Position in a room that receives bright, natural ambient light throughout the day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-index-in-node=\"0\" data-path-to-node=\"13,1,0\"\u003eOutdoors:\u003c\/b\u003e The tree thrives in part shade to full sun.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr data-path-to-node=\"14\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"15\"\u003eSEASONAL CARE \u0026amp; WATERING\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eTo cultivate the \u003ci data-index-in-node=\"17\" data-path-to-node=\"16\"\u003eBrachychiton rupestris\u003c\/i\u003e is to mimic the rhythms of its natural environment west of the Great Dividing Range: a distinct cycle of deluge followed by dry warmth.
