Description
The species typically grows to 36 metres (118 ft) high and about 1.27 m (4.2 ft) thick, with a maximum recorded height of 63 m (207 ft).[4] The young tree has a very different appearance, palm-like with a terminal rosette of huge, wavy-edged leaves up to 1.27 m (4.2 ft) or more in length and about 41 cm (16 in) wide.[5] Adult leaves much smaller, to as little as 10 by 10 cm (3.9 by 3.9 in). The underside of the leaves is fuzzy. The flowers are five-petaled, yellow and about 8 cm (3.1 in) wide. The trees have prop roots similar to those of mangroves.[4]
