This slow-growing, small evergreen tree reaches 5 to 12 meters with a broad, rounded crown and drooping branches. Its soft, medium-green pinnate leaves feature leaflets that uniquely fold when touched or at night. Cultivated for its waxy, five-angled yellow fruits that reveal a star shape when sliced, it thrives in full sun and rich, acidic, well-drained soils. While sensitive to frost and wind, this tropical beauty produces fragrant rose-colored flowers year-round.
