Description
The tree is distinguished from U. pumila var. pumila by its greater height and more slender leaves. The leaves have pinnate venation, are 4–7 cm in length, ovate-lanceolate, double-toothed and finely pointed. Var. arborea grows very vigorously, and can ultimately make a large tree, however it also has a straggling, untidy habit, producing long shoots 0.60–0.95 m in length.
