About Sideroxylon salicifolium (L.) Lam.
Sideroxylon salicifolium (L.) Lam. is a small tree that reaches 10 to 20 meters in height. It has smooth beige bark and spirally arranged leaves. Its small cream-coloured flowers measure 1 to 4 millimeters across, and grow in clusters of five to twelve. The plant produces small berries as fruit, which are 6 to 10 millimeters long and hold between one and three seeds. Unripe fruit is green; as it ripens it turns reddish brown, and becomes dark brown when fully mature.
