Product Details
Overview & Specifications
Kurrajong Tree, Brachychiton populneus
One of Australia's most enduring native specimens, the Kurrajong delivers a broad, dense canopy, a sculptural bottle-shaped trunk, and exceptional resilience across the harshest conditions this country produces. At advanced sizes, it arrives with immediate presence and requires nothing to prove.
Why Kurrajong
Drought tolerance: Among the most water-efficient large natives available, built for Australia's driest landscapes without compromise.
Sculptural form: The swelling, bottle-shaped trunk develops character and structure that defines a property over time.
Dense, year-round canopy: Broad and reliable shade coverage with minimal seasonal variation.
Site adaptability: Performs across a wide range of soils, including poor and compacted ground typical of development sites.
Wind and heat resilience: Suited to exposed positions where less robust species would struggle.
Ideal Applications
Statement shade tree: Anchors open lawns, courtyards, and large residential or rural properties with authority.
Avenue and driveway planting: Upright habit and uniform canopy make it a natural choice for formal or semi-formal linear planting.
Windbreak integration: Provides structural shelter without sacrificing ornamental value.
Native and low-water landscapes: Pairs with other hardy Australian species in high-performance, low-maintenance planting schemes.
Specimen & Installation
Spacing (feature/avenue): 8 to 12m
