Queensland flessenboom

Planted these in a large pot as suggested for my cooler climate, and they're already showing that iconic swollen base after just a few weeks. The germination rate was impressive — all three seeds sprouted. Can't wait to see how this conversation piece matures.

The trunk’s already developing that unmistakable bottle shape, and it’s only been a few weeks since the seed sprouted. My potted one’s getting plenty of curious glances from the neighbors — exactly the reaction I was hoping for.

I was a bit skeptical about growing a tree in a pot, but this bottle tree seed sprouted within two weeks and the seedling's fat base is already showing. It's been a fun conversation starter on my patio.
