Bark cloth tree is a deciduous to evergreen, small to large tree with a crown of short, spreading branches; it usually grows up to 45 metres tall though exceptional specimens up to 60 metres are known. The bole can be up to 150cm in diameter and is usually buttressed. The tree is quite widely exploited for its timber and is also used medicinally. It has excellent prospects for use as a pioneer species and, because it casts a dense shade, it is sometimes planted as a roadside tree.
