Vinegartree is an evergreen tree reaching heights of 30 to 40 feet (9 to 12 meters) in cultivation, potentially larger in natural settings. It bears a symmetrical and dense rounded canopy with glossy, lance-shaped leaves about 4 to 6 inches (10 to 15 centimeters) in length. The bark is distinctive, with a reddish-brown outer layer that peels away to reveal a smooth gray underbark. In spring and summer, it displays white, feathery flowers in clusters, which develop into woody capsules. The tree has a robust growth rate in its early stages and displays significant drought tolerance once mature.
