A small tree with a short trunk and spreading branches forming a dense pyramid or round topped head. The dark green summer foliage tends to droop and give the tree a sleepy appearance. The edible brownish-black fruit has a taste similar to a banana, high in vitamins A and C. Plant more than one for pollination. Interesting native tree which could be used for naturalizing or along the water’s edge. ‘Mitchell’ boasts a medium sized fruit that has a golden flesh, slightly yellow skin and excellent flavor, ripening in early September.
