This deciduous small tree or large shrub is densely branched with zigzag branches. Branches typically have a leaf and a thorn at each angle. Flowers are small and inconspicuous, greenish-white. The fruits are initially green, but have a yellow to pale orange color when ripe. Seeds are enclosed within a woody endocarp.
