The fruits are similar to longan, with the edible part being the translucent aril, which are juicy and sweet to sour in taste. The pericarp is green when unripe and pink when ripe. The fruits are rich in phytochemicals, minerals, and dietary fiber.The fruits are oval to round, strawberry-red in colour, and about 25 mm (1 inch) in diameter. The brittle outer covering encloses a translucent white fleshy aril and one large seed. The tree is propagated by seed and by air layering, in which a branch is made to produce roots while still attached to the parent plant.
