Soncoya is a medium-sized deciduous tree, 7–12 m (23–39 ft) tall. Alternate leaves elliptic to oblong, 18–30 cm (7–12 in) long, with pointed apex. Blades brown, pubescent on both sides. Solitary flowers with 3 thick brown petals, yellowish-purple on the inside, and 3 thin, creamy-white inner petals. The fragrant flowers are pollinated by insects, especially beetles. Fruits round, 12–20 cm (5–8 in) in diameter with a thick stalk and surface covered with hooked spines. Soft orange pulp aromatic and sweet but somewhat fibrous. Taste reminiscent of mango.
