Default Waterhousia - Decurrent / Concurrent

Hi,
I was at a nursery today inspecting some Waterhousia floribunda for a landscape project. When inspecting against the NATSPEC (Specifying trees) criteria I was a little unsure if this species is decurrent or concurrent. My guess is concurrent? Does anyone know?

Well, they are not apically dominant like say Norfolk pines.

They usually have many first order branches and a spreading canopy.

But perhaps at nursery size that might be harder to tell.

Do you mean decurrent/excurrent?
If so, I would say that Waterhousia floribunda has a decurrent form.
I have never heard of a "concurrent" form.
