The hair disappears later leaving brown branches. Old bark is grey-brown and smooth. The simple leaves are narrow ovate to elongated and taper to a point at the base and tip. On emerging the leaf has grey-white felt-like hair like the young twigs. The mature leaf is glossy dark green and turns deep orange-red in autumn. In May the approx. 1 cm white flowers open in 10 cm corymbs. They are followed by oval, red fruits. Graceful, healthy tree for parks and wide green borders.
