Wax Jamboo Tree (syzygium javanicum)

A short trunked tree, it has a wide spreading crown with pinkish grey flaking bark and elliptical leaves that are highly aromatic when crushed. Flowers, borne in drooping panicles of 3 to 30 at the branch tips or in smaller clusters are fragrant and yellowish-white. The fruit is known for its crisp texture, mild flavor, and cooling effect on the body. The flavor is somewhat like an apple with a hint of rosewater. They are often used as a garnish, in fruit salads, and eaten out of hand. The trees fruit prolifically in just one to two years, and they are an excellent treat on hot summer days. Trees can easily be maintained at ten to twelve feet, with biannual pruning.
