This Australian native is prized for its swollen, bottle-like trunk and large, lobed foliage, adding architectural interest to landscapes, patios, or large containers. Its slow, sculptural growth and seasonal leaf drop create a distinctive silhouette that stands out in any setting.\u003cbr\u003e\nFor best results, sow seeds in well-draining soil and provide full sun, as the plant thrives in warm, arid conditions. Use as a statement piece in xeriscapes, rock gardens, or as a potted accent where its caudex can develop. The plant naturally forms a broad canopy with age, offering dappled shade, and is suitable for subtropical to temperate regions with minimal frost.\u003cbr\u003e\nSpecies: Brachychiton australis\u003cbr\u003e\nVariety: Broad Leaved Bottle Tree\u003cbr\u003e\nType: Ornamental Tree\u003cbr\u003e\nPlant_Habit: Deciduous tree with swollen trunk\u003cbr\u003e\nSun: Full sun\u003cbr\u003e\nSoil: Well-draining, sandy or gritty\u003cbr\u003e\nDays_to_Harvest: Not applicable\u003cbr\u003e\nZones: 9-11\u003cbr\u003e\nGermination: Requires warm stratification or soak; 2-8 weeks\u003cbr\u003e\nSowing: Sow 1 cm deep in moist, warm medium\u003cbr\u003e\nSpacing: 5-10 m apart (or large container)\u003cbr\u003e\nNotes: Slow-growing; protect from frost when young\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Blake's Flora \u0026 Soil","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67663053717640,"sku":"EXGA-152","price":19.76,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0717\/4648\/6408\/files\/download_e3eb7b4f-e4db-4ff4-91b9-8598e3605d1f.png?v=1791895523","url":"https:\/\/www.natesgardensupply.com\/products\/5-seeds-brachychiton-australis-broad-leaved-bottle-tree-ornamental-caudex","provider":"Nate's Garden Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
