Brachychiton populneus, commonly known as the Kurrajong tree, is a small to medium sized evergreen tree that grows to 10 m tall and 6 m wide.

It grows with a pyramidal shape when young and becomes wider and denser with age. It will grow on a wide range of habitats and soils, preferring drier sites rather than wetter ones.
