 The trunk diameter can range from 30 to 100 centimeters.The elliptical to oblong leaves are 2.5 to 8.0 centimeters (1.0–3.2 inches) in length with widths of about half that dimension; moreover, leaves are short-pointed at the tip, but rounded or blunt at base.Although the leaves appear generally flat, they may have edge margins slightly turned under, typically with spiny teeth, particularly on young twigs.
