The Queensland Bottle Tree Living Centerpiece is a young bottle tree with moss in a low charcoal bowl, planted by hand in Apex, NC.
The bottle tree is one of Australia’s most recognizable trees, a landmark of the Queensland landscape. Mature trees grow a swollen, bottle-shaped trunk that stores water through long dry seasons, and they stand out across the countryside for it. This one is just starting out: a single slim stem with long, narrow leaves fanning out, each with a pale center vein. A mound of green moss sits at its base over a top dressing of bark. Given bright light and time, the trunk begins to thicken at the base.
Plant: Bottle tree
Vessel: Low charcoal bowl
Finish: Bark top dressing, mound moss
Included: Plant, bowl, top dressing, and moss. Ready to display.
Light: Bright light, with some direct sun. Let the top of the soil dry between waterings.
Made: Planted by hand in Apex, NC.
Delivery: $15 flat-rate local delivery across the Triangle, or pickup at the studio in Apex.
Where do you deliver? Apex, Cary, Raleigh, Durham, Chapel Hill, Holly Springs, Fuquay-Varina, and the surrounding Triangle, for a flat $15.
Can I pick it up? Yes. Pickup is available at the studio in Apex, NC.
Where does the bottle tree come from? It is native to Australia and best known in Queensland, where its water-storing trunk makes it a familiar sight.
Each plant grows in its own shape, so yours may differ slightly from the photos.
