The straight bole sometimes branches from around 2 metres, at other times it can be unbranched for several metres; it is up to 150cm in diameter. The bark is thick and rough, flaking in large irregular scales to expose a buff undersurface. Sowing : Seed should be sown in spring or during summer, in a well-drained seedling mix, and need only be covered lightly with the sowing mix, clean coarse sand or milled bark to stop it from blowing away. The trays should be kept moist in a warm but shaded position. Locality: Ex Hort. Harvest: July 2021
