This park in the northern suburbs of Brisbane is home to 2 beautiful native Bottle trees.
It is also very popular with the locals so be mindful of mini muggles and their parents - and the occasional curious muggle neighbours.
The Queensland Bottle Tree (Brachychiton rupestris) originally classified in the family Sterculiaceae, which is now within Malvaceae, is native of Queensland, Australia. Its grossly swollen trunk gives it a remarkable appearance and gives rise to the name. As a succulent, drought-deciduous tree, it is tolerant of a range of various soils, and temperatures.
It can grow to 18-20 meters (40 feet) in height and its trunk has the unique shape of a bottle. Its swollen trunk is primarily used for water storage.
