Cattle ate the seeds then the preferred, colored seeds were picked from the feces to be sold. It can grow to 130 feet tall from a buttressed trunk at a quick rate. The serrated leaves turn red before falling. The racemes creamy-white flowers are egg-shaped, around half an inch long. The bright-blue drupes are almost an inch in diameter. The flesh is edible but not very good. The seeds inside this nut-looking drupe have seeds inside that are delicious, tasting like pine nuts. Each fruit contains 5 seeds.
