The Needle Holy Shrub typically grows as a compact, bushy plant, reaching a height of around 3 to 6 feet (approximately 1 to 2 meters). Its most distinctive feature is its foliage, consisting of long, slender leaves resembling needles. These leaves are typically dark green, glossy, and grow densely along the branches, giving the shrub a lush appearance.
During the blooming season, which usually occurs in late spring to early summer, the Needle Holy Shrub produces small, inconspicuous flowers. These flowers are often white or pale yellow and grow in clusters along the branches. Following pollination, the shrub may develop small berries or seed pods, adding further visual interest to the plant.
