In early spring, it produces many bunches of medium-sized, lime blossoms with needle-like petals with a tube-like floral cup. They are hardy and have a scent whose strength depends on external factors, such as soil quality and rain frequency that smells like vanilla.

In mid-summer it produces , asymmetrical fruit. The crispy light brown skin is thin and edible when cooked; it is sweet and spicy, and the crunchy olive flesh is bitter and oily. The muted yellow seeds are small and are located in the centre of the fruit.
