Alexandria laurel is an evergreen shrub reaching about 4 feet (1.2 meters) in height and width. The plant's growth habit is open, with branches gracefully arching from the central crown, bearing a resemblance to bamboo. The glossy, bright green cladophylls—modified stems that function as leaves—are arranged alternately and exhibit a lanceolate shape with parallel veins. At the base of each cladophyll, one can observe minute, hair-like true leaves. During its fruiting season, alexandria laurel showcases red-orange berries, adding a splash of color to the overall greenery.
