Bottle Tree

This at our place. Lovely trees but super messy. Start losing their leaves coming towards summer for 8 weeks, then grow flowers that last for 8 weeks and continue to drop over that time so 4 months of mess. Bees love the flowers though!

Lovely tree and the colour of the flowers just pop. Base of the tree looks massive ....

Hi, yeah, they store moisture in those trunks to get through the hot dry periods.
I do like them, beautiful trees, just wish they had a self clean up mechanism built in 😂

I had a large pecan tree in my backyard. It was the messiest tree ever. And it only produced good pecans once in 30 yrs. I paid a pro to take it down and he ground the stump. I milled it into slabs and it’s stickered in my barn drying. No more mess!

We have a few messy trees in our yard & sometimes I regret planting them. Whenever they're in full bloom and making a flowery canopy in the back yard it's worth it.
