Years in the making, our Character Cut Backs are individually shaped Queensland Bottle Trees with a distinctive, bonsai inspired presence. We’ve grown these trees for several years, raised their substantial roots above the soil, and cut back their upper growth to develop their unusual silhouettes. The result is a beautiful contrast between exposed, sculptural roots, textured woody trunks, and delicate, narrow foliage. Each tree has its own personality, with bends, branching, and root formations that make every specimen unique. Native to Australia, Brachychiton rupestris naturally develops a water storing, bottle shaped trunk with age. These characterful specimens offer an established foundation for continued shaping or simply enjoying as living sculptures. “Character Cut Backs” is our descriptive name for these trained trees, rather than a separate botanical cultivar.
