It has evergreen, Acer-like foliage, and clusters of white, yellowish-white or pale rose flowers, which are followed by egg-shaped, spiny, and large fruits turning red on ripening. Ground seeds are used for herbal dyes and as a spice to color various dishes. In winter keep plants drier at a minimum of some 15°C in a sunny position.
