Croppings of indehiscent pods might take anywhere from 4 to 6 years. After flowering, the brown seed pods develop and mature in 10 to 11 months. The pods are thick-walled, smooth, somewhat flattened, elliptical, but slightly curved with a short, curved point, and elliptical, but slightly curved with a sharp, curved end.

The pods contain one or two bean-like brownish-red seeds; however, they must decay before the seeds can sprout because they do not break open spontaneously. Herbivores find the seeds around 1.5–2.5 cm long and have a brittle, oily coat, unappealing in their natural state. However, the tree can withstand extreme heat and sunlight. Its deep, long taproot and complex network of lateral roots make it drought resistant.
