The stems grow slowly and often tightly together, eventually reaching 2-5 m tall with a trunk diameter of 20-25 cm. The young shoots or suckers from the bottom of the plant are also used.

It is drought-tolerant and grows on dry, rocky soil. Muricata has been used in plantations with resultant growth rates higher than in the wild . * The mature trees grow to a height of 15-25 m, rarely up to 34 m, with a trunk diameter of up to 1.2 m.

It is typically found over calcareous substrates such as limestone , growing on limestone slopes and in moist valley soils, at elevations of 120–600 m. * The "blue" refers to a substance secreted by the inner bark when exposed to air, not to the leaves,...
