Fragrant snowbell is a deciduous tree that can reach a stature of 20 to 30 feet (6 to 9 meters) tall and 15 to 25 feet (4.5 to 7.5 meters) wide, exhibiting an initial pyramidal shape that matures into a rounded form. Its smooth gray bark is marked by orange-brown vertical fissures that may exfoliate in older specimens. The foliage consists of large, bold, dark green leaves with a soft, downy underside. Notably, the tree produces drooping, bell-shaped, fragrant white to creamy flowers with golden stamens hanging in 6- to 8-inch-long (15 to 20 cm) racemes in late spring to early summer. The fruiting phase follows, displaying 3/4-inch (2 cm) round to oval, silvery-green drupes that cluster and may persist into late autumn.
