Portuguese cherry laurel presents as a versatile evergreen with a potential to develop between 10-20 feet (3-6 meters) in both height and spread. It forms a dense and rounded shrub-like shape that can be sculpted into hedges. The foliage is characterized by lustrous dark green leaves that complement the spring emergence of aromatic flower clusters, extending 6-10 inches (15-25 cm). These blooms give way to purple, berry-like drupes, adding a further layer of visual interest.
