It typically grows to 10 metres tall and 5 metres wide, with a pyramidal or rounded shape. This tree is well-known for its lush green foliage with wavy edges and a subtle lemon fragrance when crushed. In spring, it produces clusters of small, yellow-cream flowers that add seasonal interest and attract native pollinators.
