Rusty blackhaw exhibits a variety of growth forms, typically as a multi-stemmed shrub or occasionally a small tree reaching up to 12 to 15 feet (approximately 3.7 to 4.6 meters) in height. Its leaves are broad and ovate with serrated margins and are distinctively adorned with rusty-brown hairs on their undersides. Buds and stems also share this rusty-hued pubescence. In the spring, rusty blackhaw produces small, creamy-white flowers that cluster into dense, flat-topped cymes, usually 4 to 5 inches (10 to 12.5 centimeters) wide. These give way to bluish-black drupes that persist into the fall.
