Sloanea woollsii F.Muell.

Sloanea woollsii, commonly known as yellow carabeen, is a large tree species with plank buttresses that is native to northeastern NSW and eastern Queensland, Australia. Its southern distributional limit is near the town of Bulahdelah (32° S) at Tallowwood Forest Park and O'Sullivans Gap Reserve.

Sloanea woollsii is one of the commonest tree species in subtropical rainforests of Australia growing up to 55 metres tall. It is a typical long-lived (up to 800 years), slow growing and shade tolerant climax species.

The Yellow Carabeen grows very well in sydney,s upper north shore area, where the soil is volcanic and the area enjoys high rainfall. Steve Oatley planted an advanaced tree in 1990 and it grew 12metres tall in 8 years with a spread of 7 metres.
