Kurrajong tree
The Kurrajong tree (Brachychiton populneus) is a native Australian tree known for its distinctive bell-shaped flowers and broad, green leaves. It can grow up to 15 meters tall and is often found in dry, open woodlands. The tree is drought-resistant and can thrive in poor soil conditions, making it a popular choice for landscaping in arid regions.
The Kurrajong tree produces large seed pods that contain edible seeds, which can be consumed by both humans and wildlife. Its wood is lightweight and has been traditionally used by Indigenous Australians for making tools and crafts. The tree also provides shade and habitat for various birds and insects.
