Malay Apple

Malay Apple (Syzygium malaccense)

From Malaysia and the Pacific Islands

Best Growing Conditions:

• Prefers full sun and moist, well-drained soil. Tolerates occasional flooding and
  enjoys humid conditions.

Characteristics:

• Fast-growing tree that produces large, bell-shaped fruits with crisp, juicy,
  mildly sweet flesh—also known as Malay Apple, Mountain Apple, or Rose Apple.
• Time to First Harvest: 3–5 years from seed.
• Mature Height: Can grow up to 30–60 feet.

Base Factors to Consider:

• Beautiful tree with glossy leaves and striking pink flowers—often grown as much
  for shade and ornament as for fruit.
• Fruits are highly perishable but refreshing and hydrating when eaten fresh.
• Excellent for reforestation, tropical gardens, or edible hedgerows.
