A species of evergreen shrubs or low trees of the genus Acca (Acca) of the Myrtle family (Myrtaceae). A large evergreen spreading shrub or tree up to 4 m high. The root system lies rather superficially in the soil, densely branched, compact, which is characteristic of moisture-loving plants. The trunk has a greenish-brown rough bark.
The leaves are whole-edged, crosswise opposite, oval (elliptical), hard, leathery, on short petioles, often drooping, feathery veining; light green-gray (bluish), pubescent from below, smooth, dark green from above.
The flowers are four-membered, axillary, single, paired or several in a corymbose inflorescence, bisexual, with numerous (50-80) stamens, white at the edges and pink closer to the center; self-sterile, pollinated by insects; blooms in May - June, in the tropics flowering occurs in periodic waves or continuously (remontant).
The fruit is a large, fleshy, juicy berry with sepals remaining at the top; dark green in color, from elongated oval to wide-rounded and less often cuboid in shape, from 2 to 5, less often up to 7 cm in length, from 1.5 to 3-4, less often up to 5 cm in diameter, weighing from 15 to 60 g, rarely - up to 105-120 g. The aroma and taste of the berry pulp resembles strawberries, pineapple and kiwi. The seeds are surrounded by a white translucent acid pulp; the peel is smooth from yellow-green to dark green bumpy, sometimes with an anthocyanin coating.
