The pod does not split open readily, but a line is visible along the fruit and divides it into two.

The texture of the skin is coriaceous and uneven, colored a pale greenish/yellow to brown.

The pod is edible, with aromatic and juicy yellow pulp, and relatively large seeds.

The tree is usually grown from seed, although it can be propagated by budding, approach grafting and other methods.
