Bottle Tree (Brachychiton platanofila) 

Evergreen, fast rhythm and moderate tree growth, Bottle Tree is a favorite choice for planting in the warm regions of Greece. It has eliptic canopy, green glossy like platanus leaves and beautifully bell-shaped pink flowers that appear in the spring. Kurrajong is exceptionally resistant to drought, to the city's embarrassing atmosphere, to frost as well as to enemies and diseases. It is a tree of easy cultivation, since it grows in almost every soil type that has excellent drainage and it is also remarkably long-lived, with a life span of over 50 years. Bottle Tree is a reliable option for planting on pavements, parks and squares, as well as in small or large gardens.

It is offered at a price determined by the particular characteristics of the plant, such as the size of the pot, its height, age and shape. Large trees are also available for sale (and planting) upon prior arrangement. In any case, the price or prices listed are indicative.
