The Ziziphus Spina Christi grows as a handsome evergreen tree featuring an asymmetrical, rounded canopy. It develops a short main trunk textured with rugged, grayish-brown bark. The foliage consists of small, alternating oval leaves that boast a glossy dark green finish along with protective stipular spines. Its dainty white blossoms emerge abundantly in dense clusters, eventually producing fleshy, round drupes that turn a rich brown color when fully ripe and are completely edible.
