$5.00
Syzygium jambos, commonly known as the Rose Apple or Malabar Plum, is a small to medium-sized evergreen tree in the Myrtaceae family. Native to Southeast Asia, it is widely cultivated across the tropics for its highly fragrant fruit and ornamental beauty.
It produces showy, creamy-white or greenish-white clusters of flowers with numerous long stamens that give them a pompom or feathery appearance. The flesh is crisp and watery with a distinct, delicate scent of rose water and a mild sweetness.
Native to Malaysia and Indonesia, it has naturalized in many regions, including India, the Caribbean, and Hawaii.
