Sloanea woollsii
Yellow carabeen is a very large rainforest tree from subtropical eastern Australia, growing up to about 55 m with prominent plank buttresses at the base. It is slow growing and shade tolerant, so it is a poor choice for most home gardens and is mainly grown as a landscape or forest tree.
