This post is a response to a reader comment left by sfk.hooper who made the observation that none of my blog posts about Brachychiton trees had pictures of the whole specimens. I went back and double checked and discovered that he/she was quite right for every one except the B. acerifolius tree for which I did have a picture of the complete tree in bloom. At any rate here are some pictures of six different types of Brachychiton trees showing the whole specimen.
The first image (above) is of three Brachychiton discolor which goes by common names Lacebark tree, Bottle tree, or Bush Kurrajong (I have found that there is quite a bit of confusion on the web when it comes to the common names of trees in the Brachychiton genus.
The second image (above) is of a mature
B. populneus tree that is often called the Kurrajong (in my post on this tree I called it the Lacebark Kurrajong but I stand to be corrected if this is not the proper name).
The third image (above) is of the
B. discolor which goes by the names Bush Kurrajong or Scrub bottletree.
The next tree (above) is the
Brachychiton discolor x acerifolius which is a hybrid that is called "Clarabelle"
The next tree (above) is a
B. bidwillii that is called the Little Kurrajong.
The last tree is the B. acerifolius, also known as the "
flametree". Follow the link to find out why it is called the Flametree.

How quickly do the Brachychiton mature B populous trees grow???
ReplyDeleteAs a general rule "mature" trees (or any other living organism for that mater) do not grow very fast if at all. Perhaps you are asking how long it takes Brachychiton populneus trees to grow to maturity?
