Size.
— Originally described as a tree of 50 feet or less.
Has an erect trunk for 20-30 feet; it then branches off into a number of limbs. The trunks are up to 3 feet 6 inches in diameter. It has very drooping branches, almost like a willow, and this, conjoined with the straight trunk, gives the tree a peculiar appearance. (A. Murphy, speaking of the Paroo.)"About 40 feet high." (A.W. Mullen.)
