It is an open tree with dense foliage that forms a rounded crown. Lanceolate leaves, of medium size. Spherical or slightly pyriform fruits, large as an orange. Relatively thick rind, easy to peel, yellow-orange in color; orange when fully ripe. The pulp is tender, sweet, juicy and orange in color with a mild flavor. Seedless if grown alone.
