市指定天然記念物 長崎公園のトックリノキ (別名 ボトルノキ)

指定年月日 平成16年6月3日
所 在 地___長崎市西山町1番地1
所 有 者___長崎市

 トックリノキ(別名 ボトルツリー)はオーストラリア、クインズランド州原産のアオギリ科の高木であり、学名はBrachychiton rupestris (Lindl.) K. Schum.といい、オーストラリアでは公園などにふつうに見られる。
 この木は昭和7年に上海から長崎へ運ばれたものであり、トックリノキとしては日本に持ち込まれた中で最も古い。現在では日本においても各地の植物園に栽培され、まれなものではないが、屋外でこのように大きく育っているのは珍しい。
 昭和初期の長崎-上海間の交流を示す一つの証拠として、歴史的な価値がある

Municipally Designated Natural Treasure

Nagasaki Park Bottle Tree
Date of designation: June 3 2004
Location: 1-1 Kaminishiyama-machi, Nagasaki City
Proprietor: Nagasaki City

The Bottle Tree (botanical name Brachychiton rupestris), a member of the Sterculiaceae family of trees is native to Queensland, Australia, and can often be found in parks in Australia.
This tree was brought from Shanghai to Nagasaki in 1932 and is one of the oldest of its species in Japan. These days the Bottle Tree can be found in many botanical gardens across Japan and while it cannot be described as being especially rare it is somewhat uncommon for it to be cultivated outdoors as this tree was.
This tree has historical value as testimony to the cultural exchange between Shanghai and Nagasaki at the beginning of the Showa Era.
