Common pearlbrush is characterized by its ability to grow into a loose, broad shrub reaching 10 feet (3 meters), with potential heights up to 15 feet (4.5 meters). This deciduous member of the Roseaceae family flourishes in spring through its distinct, white, 5-petaled flowers resembling pearls on slender stems. Its leaves exhibit a unique 'batman-like' shape, noted for a tooth on each side of the apex, and are mucronate with smooth edges below the midsection. The fruit of common pearlbrush matures into a persistent, green-brown, top-shaped capsule which dehiscently releases its seeds.
