Since the chubushnik flower is a compact plant, its maximum height is only one hundred and fifty centimeters. Interestingly, its inflorescences smell like strawberries. In one year, it grows by about seven centimeters. This species looks very interesting due to the fact that the size of the circumference of its crown completely coincides with the height of the bush. The branches are straight, with a brownish-red bark, but from the large abundance of foliage, they hang slightly in the direction of the soil. Its foliage is relatively small, about two centimeters in length, at the end of the leaf there is a slight sharpening. There is a small pile on the bottom of the sheet.
