Habit / Size: Tree form with a single main trunk growth habit. Can grow to 20–100’ high in its native climate.
Of Note:
- Native to Queensland and New South Wales where it grows in subtropical rainforest, dry rainforest and wet forests.
- Will produce flowers in its native setting but this is a rare occurrence as a houseplant.
