Saltwater paperbark displays a distinct stature as an upright, dense evergreen that may reach heights up to 30 feet (9 meters) but typically observed between 8 to 13 feet (2.4 to 4 meters). Its bark is pale and resembles paper in texture, peeling away in strips. The branches bear a unique twist, with short, narrow leaves that are faintly hairy upon emergence. Cream flowers adorn the branch tips in clusters or as individuals. Woody fruit featuring claw-like vestal sepal appendages develop post-bloom. The foliage is slightly hairy when young, maturing to a simple green. Saltwater paperbark thrives in full to partial sunlight and can endure variations in watering frequency.
