Lemonade Berry is a scented evergreen shrub reaching 8 to 10 feet (2.4 to 3 meters) in height, with a robust trunk and sprawling branches. The mid to dark green leaves have a leathery feel and are mostly flat, with slightly curled edges and a finely serrated margin. Often, the petioles and main leaf veins exhibit maroon to pink hues. From February to May, small, clustered flowers ranging from white to rose-pink appear at the branch tips. Its fruit, a sticky, flat drupe with reddish-brown fuzz, houses a hard seed approximately 1/4 inch (6 mm) in size.
