The plant is a large shrub or small tree, up to 15 feet. It is a tropical plant, evergreen, that will endure only light frost. The leaves are entire, elliptic and pointed, nearly glabrous. The fruit has a smooth, thin skin, and has three ribs, or sutures. 66-fold that in orange juice.
Fruits are about an inch in diameter, with a single, rather large seed.
They ripen in 3 to 4 months from bloom, but fruits in all stages of development are on the trees at the same time. No data, commercial plantings in Puerto Rico and Hawaii. Makes good jelly.
