| Hi, I recently saw the movie Australia and was wondering what kind of trees were shown in the movie. The trees were very fat with the trunks looking larger at the top than the bottom. The branches seemed to sprout from the thicker part of the trunk at the top. |

| Didn't see it but it sounds like you're probably referring to Brachychiton rupestris. I think there was one in a promo shot of Hugh baby looking all macho. |

| Whoops! Wrong bottle tree! : ) I've just realized that movie was set in the Kimberley region of Western Australia, so the species there is actually Adansonia Gregorii (synonym Gibbosa). |
