Syagrus pseudococos has a single, thin, greenish trunk which grows over 50 feet (15 meters) high. It produces quite large fruit and has a full crown. It grows best in rich, well drained soil.[6] It can be distinguished from other species of Syagrus by the pear-shaped form of the fruit. The seeds are also unique among Syagrus in having a hollow interior to the endosperm, just like a coconut.[5]
It is possibly known as coco verde in California,[6] whereas in Brazil it is known as coco-amargoso or peririma.[5]
