Black Gum is a small to medium-sized woodland tree growing to 18 m tall.
The the bark on the trunk and main branches is dark greyish-black, deeply fibrous or flaky. The bark does not shed annually.
Only the uppermost branches and twigs have smooth whitish, cream or greyish bark that sheds yearly.
The juvenile leaves are narrow or oval-shaped, dull green and arranged opposite to one another. The adult leaves are slightly curved and round-ended, about 12 cm long and 1 to 2 cm wide. They are glossy dark green and have the same colour on each surface.
The buds, flowers and fruits occur in tight clusters of 7; the clusters are on stalks 3 to 4 mm long. The buds are egg-shaped, 3 to 5 mm long and 2 to 3 mm wide. The flowers are white and are followed by gum-nuts which are cone- or cup-shaped, 2 to 4 mm long and 3 to 5 mm wide. The disc on the surface of the gum-nut has processes (valves) which emerge from the disc.
