Description

Tropical melicoccus grow as fruit-bearing trees and shrubs. They tend to grow large with spreading branches and evergreen leaves, which makes them popular shade trees. One species, the Melicoccus bijugatus, grows limes which are enjoyed as a sour fruit. The wood from the trees is also a popular choice for carpentry.
