Fast-growing solitary tree with a semi-open, broad, fan-shaped crown on a short trunk. The smooth bark is dark grey and has lenticels. Twigs are olive green, with velvety grey hair, and have small, whitish lenticels. They turn greyish brown the second year. The imparipinnate leaves consist of 5 - 9 opposed leaf segments and are 20 – 35 cm long. Each leaflet is ovoid and tapers to a point, 4 - 9 cm long with a short stem. The upper side of the leaf is dark green while the underside is light green. Aromatic white flowers, each 0.3 – 0.5 cm, grow in broad, pyramidal plumes of 10 – 15 cm. Reddish fruit appears after flowering. For a long time, this tree was known as Euodia, a synonym still commonly used.
