The tree is often multiple-stemmed from the base and the dense crown is broadly conical and pointed. The [[bark]] is a dark pink-grey in colour. It is smooth with horizontal folds when the tree is young, but later cracks into squares and become flaky. The glabrous [[shoot]]s are a pale shining buff, but they may vary to white or pale brown. The base of the [[petiole (botany)|petiole]] is red-brown. The [[leaf|leaves]] are densely set in irregular flat rows. They are broad and stubby in comparison to other species of the genus ''[[Tsuga]]'', and they vary in length from 0.7 cm to 2 cm long by about 0.2 cm wide. They are blunt with notched tips and shiny dark green above. The underside of the leaves has two broad, dull white [[stomata|stomatal]] bands. The [[buds]] are narrow based and ovoid, dark orange in colour. Their scales are convex.<ref name="Mitchell">{{cite book

The stamenate (i.e. male) [[flower]]s are terminal on weak shoots. They are very small at only 2 mm, globular in shape and cherry-red in colour. The pistillate flowers are slightly larger at 5 mm, purple in colour and nodding ovoid in shape. The deep dark brown [[conifer cone|cone]]s are pendulous and ovoid-conic in shape. The tips are blunt and they measure about 2.3 cm long by 1.3 cm wide. Their scales are flat topped. <ref name="Mitchell"/>
