In the cooler, drier months, pull back watering to allow the rootball to totally dry out as the tree goes semi dormant. During this dry season, the tree naturally will lose some of its leaves. Interestingly, it is one of the few native plants to exhibit a semi deciduous nature.  \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Demeter Plants","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":68079366209852,"sku":null,"price":1100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0709\/0579\/0780\/files\/IMG_16352.heic?v=1793669556","url":"https:\/\/demeterplants.com\/products\/qld-bottle-tree-brachychiton-rupestris-in-fibreglass-pedestal-planter-circa-1960s","provider":"Demeter Plants","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
