Forms tall trees with a spreading not very thickened crown. Trees reach 5.5 m in height. When ripe, the nut easily falls out of the inflorescence. The fruits are large (height up to 28 mm, width up to 25 mm). Forms inflorescences on 2-4 nuts. Medium thickness shell. The nucleus is large, well filled. The nut ripens late enough.
