A tall (10-12m) branching tree that forms a wide, domed canopy.
The 20–25 cm wide trunk is grey and cracked, while younger stems bear brown leaf-scars.
The stems are lined with many small, sharp knobs.

The leaves are long, drooping and glaucous-green to yellow-green with more brownish bases.
Leaf margins are lined with tiny, mild, white spines that can age to a yellow or brown.
The leaf midrib also has spines, but not near the base.

This species is most easily distinguished by its very large (20–25 cm), rounded fruit-head, that is held up erect on a short peduncle that is densely covered in protective bracts.
Each fruit-head holds 15-25 drupes, that are flat-topped and covered in stigmas, but otherwise variable in shape.

The half or third of the drupe, that is inside the fruit-head, becomes orange or red when ripe.
Each drupe holds a large number (over 50) of carpels.
