  • It is basically a subtropical deciduous tree that has sweet edible fruits the size of olives. 
  • When ripening, they acquire a yellow-orange to reddish hue. 
  • The leaves of this tree contain the peptide zizifin, the interesting thing about which is that it can temporarily block the perception of sweet taste. 
  • The leaves are elliptical, alternate, light green and small. 
  • The plant forms two types of shoots, one is fruit-bearing, sprouts in the spring and falls with the fruit in the fall, the other is vegetative, which forms the additions of the tree or shrub to the wood.

  • The branches are irregularly shaped and have a few thorns at each node. 
  • The plant prefers warm, sunny and sheltered locations with permeable, humus, moderately moist soil.
