The branches are long and thin and are covered with sparse amounts of large, broad, flat leaves with jagged edges. The leaves themselves are solid amber or silver, with peach edges.
In early spring, it produces several medium-sized, grey blossoms with shield-shaped petals with a trumpet-shaped floral cup. They are sturdy and have a strong scent that smells like citrus.
In early autumn it produces , fan-like fruit. The leathery green skin is peel-able and inedible, and the soft gold flesh is spicy and juicy. The gold seed is small and sits at the top of the fruit.
