A slender, fast-growing deciduous tree with a narrow, tapering crown. As they get older they form a weeping habit especially if growing in a open, uncrowded situation.
The branches are ascending in young trees but twigs and shoots are pendulous, slender and smooth, mostly brown and pitted with many white resin glands.
The bark is a very pronounced silvery white colour but as the tree gets older it becomes deeply fissured and often flaking away from the trunk. A pattern of black diamonds is often seen on the trunks in older trees.
