The excessive amount of branches are very long, thin and wispy and are covered with copious amounts of tiny, 3 pointed leaves with smooth edges. The leaves themselves are dark grey at the bottom and florescent yellow with cream patches at the top.

In early spring, it produces a handful of medium-sized, peach blossoms with spear shaped petals. They are very delicate and have a weak scent that smells like musk.

In mid-summer it produces , circular fruit. The fuzzy florescent yellow skin is peel-able and inedible, and the crunchy pink flesh is sweet and dry. The pastel orange seed is large and sits at the end of the fruit.

The roots grow as a near perfect mirror of the tree above, and overall the tree is sturdy, flexible, and difficult to uproot or break.

Forests of this species feature trees spaced far apart, with the space between them filled with thick undergrowth.
