Once pollinated, it can take from five to eighteen months to produce viable fruit and ready to be harvested. Most citrus fruit can be left on the tree for large periods of time after being fully grown without the danger of over-ripening.

It has a distinctive growth habit called "dracoid habitus" Its leaves are found only at the end of its youngest branches; its leaves are all shed every 3 or 4 years before new leaves simultaneously mature. Branching tends to occur when the growth of the terminal bud is stopped, due to either flowering or traumatic events 

2.REPRODUCTION

Its fruits are small fleshy berries containing between 1 and 3 seeds.

They reproduce when seeds down of soil

3. PARTS OF THE PLANT

BRANCHES to support the leaves
LEAVES are green and flat, to protect the plant from the strong sun that shines in the island
TRUNK to support the plant
ROOTS to get water and minerals

FUN FACTS

This evergreen species is named after its dark red resin, which is known as "dragon's blood" It is an antiseptic and antinflammatory agent and "cure-all" medicine; also (predictably) used in medieval ritual magic and alchemy.
