Malay Apple
Syzygium malaccense
A very beautiful fruit, usually deep red in color, pear shaped, with a waxy skin, about the size of an apple. Flesh is crunchy, often juicy, with a mild sweet flavor. Some varieties have white or pink skin.
Almost always eaten fresh and chilled. Malay apple's make great thirst quenching snacks. The fruit can also be used to make wines.
A medium to large sized tree growing to over 60 ft in some areas. Malay apple's thrive in tropical conditions and are too tender to grow outdoors in California and most of Florida. In Hawaii, Malay apples (mountain apples) commonly grow in mid-elevation rain forest areas, often as large understory trees. They do not succeed as well at sea level. Trees usually require little care other than year-round water. Flowering usually occurs in early summer followed by fruit ripening 3 months later.
