The flowers are arranged in small groups Шаблон:Cvt long in leaf axils, each flower on a pedicel Шаблон:Cvt long. The sepals are about Шаблон:Cvt wide, the four petals Шаблон:Cvt long and the eight stamens alternate in length. Flowering occurs from February to April and the fruit is a fleshy, more or less spherical or pear-shaped drupe Шаблон:Cvt long.[2][3]
