This deciduous tree has an orange fall color and produces an inedible green to brown fruit that is eaten by birds and mammals. It is a specimen tree for its growth habit, because it can produce knees even in the uplands. It is also hurricane wind-resistant.

It is famous for providing timber, resin, and medicine.
