Wax Apple Plant Description
The wax apple (Syzygium samarangense), also known as Java apple, rose apple, or bell fruit, is a tropical, evergreen tree in the Myrtaceae (myrtle) family. It is cultivated for its crisp, juicy, bell-shaped fruits that resemble apples in texture but are lighter and more watery in flavor.

Flowers: The flowers are large, showy, and usually pale greenish-white to pink, appearing in clusters. They have numerous long stamens, giving them a fluffy appearance. Flowers bloom mainly in spring and early summer.

The flesh is white, spongy, juicy, and crisp with a mildly sweet flavor. It usually contains 1–2 small, round seeds, though some fruits may be seedless.

Bark and Wood: The bark is grayish-brown and rough. The wood is hard and used locally for construction and tools.
