|---|---|---|
| It is a small deciduous tree or shrub reaching a height of 5?12 metres (16?39 ft), usually with thorny branches. The leaves are shiny-green, ovate-acute, 2?7 centimetres (0.79?2.76 in) long and 1?3 centimetres (0.39?1.18 in) wide, with three conspicuous veins at the base, and a finely toothed margin. The flowers are small, 5 mm (0.20 in) wide, with five inconspicuous yellowish-green petals. The fruit is an edible oval drupe 1.5?3 centimetres (0.59?1.18 in) deep; when immature it is smooth-green, with the consistency and taste of an apple, maturing brown to purplish-black, and eventually wrinkled, looking like a small date. There is a single hard seed similar to an olive pit. |
