This small tree reaches a height of 5 - 6 m. It forms a broad, pyramidal, rounded crown and is very winter-hardy. The oval to elongated leaves are green and turn golden yellow in the autumn.

The ovoid orange-yellow to deep orange fruits remain on the tree until late December. They are approximately 1.5 cm in diameter.
