The edible fruit is a uni- or tri-locular yellow drupe, usually with 1 (-2) seeds, fleshy mesocarp, pleasant, stony endocarp.

There are 1-2 seeds per fruit, with abundant, oily endosperm, large embryo, dicotyledonous.

The Maulino forest has mostly been cleared for agriculture and tree plantations of Pinus radiata and Eucalyptus globulus.
