Why it's worth money

QLD Bottle Tree

Bottle trees store water in the trunk, which makes them extraordinarily tough to move and extraordinarily tolerant once moved. The swollen trunk is the whole character of the tree, and no two are the same shape.

If you're buying one

A specimen piece. Put it where people walk past it, not in the back corner. The trunk is worth the money.

If you have one to sell

If you have one in the way, we are interested — almost regardless of size. We take it out for nothing and level the ground behind us, and a bottle tree is one of the few we will put an offer on as well.
