In Flower

Brachychiton bidwillii is a highly variable species which can develop into a small tree on a single stem.

This Southern Queensland form usually has deeply-lobed leaves.

It drops it's leaves before flowering. As the plant ages, flower production increases, and after 8 years or so they will produce bunches of flowers coming directly from the trunk, as well as the usual flowers on twigs and branches.

Like other brachychitons, B.bidwillii tolerates a wide range of soil types provided they are well drained.

All flower best in full sun, despite being 'dry rainforest' plants.
