This palm grows up to 15 [7] to 20 meters tall, therefore, up to 20 meters tall. [2] The trunk diameter is up to 18 [7] to 25 centimeters. [2] It is covered densely in sharp, flattened black spines up to 20 centimeters long. The leaf stalks and leaf edges [4] and the peduncles bearing the fruit clusters have smaller spines. [7]
Fruit Seeds. The fruit (palmyra fruit) measures 10 cm (3.9 in) to 18 cm (7.1 in) in diameter, has a black husk, and is borne in clusters.

The center core of the tree is soft and contains none of the darker vascular bundles that give the wood its characteristic look and hardness. The leaves are pinnate, 3 metres (9.8 ft) long on a 1 metre (3.3 ft) long petiole. The fruit is a drupe with edible pulp surrounding the single seed, 4–6 cm long and 3–5
The stamens generally number six, with filaments that may be separate, attached to each other, or attached to the pistil at the base.
