The leaves are distinctly asymmetrical and coarse-textured. It produces small fruits that turn orange-red to dark purple in the autumn , often staying on the trees for several months.

The leaves are typically 15 to 20 mm (0.59 to 0.79 in) in length, but may be as short as 5 mm (0.20 in) or as long as 25 mm (1 in).The leaves are arranged on little stalks, a characteristic that does not appear in the other evergreen trees. [11] They are flattened and are typically distichous, or two-ranked.
