Japanese ternstroemia exhibits an upright, dense, and oval silhouette reaching 8-10 feet (2.4-3 meters) in height and spanning 5-6 feet (1.5-1.8 meters) in width. As a broadleaf evergreen, japanese ternstroemia retains its foliage year-round, presenting leathery, glossy leaves that adhere to the stems in a strikingly orderly fashion. The leaves subtly taper to a point, contributing to the plant's structured appearance. This shrub's physical stature and evergreen nature make it a notable presence in a garden setting.
