B. rupestris are the Australian counterpart to the Babobab, and commonly referred to as the Queensland bottle tree. They swell greatly with the passage of time and can grow to nearly 100' tall, with trunks that stretch to over 10' in diameter. The slender leaves are a great contrast to the bloated form of this pachycaul tree.
