Malay Apple
This attractive evergreen tree is native to Southeast Asia. It has large, dark-green glossy leaves and large (2") red-purple flowers set in clusters that appear tassel-like. The deep-red oval fruit has a thin skin and white crispy flesh with an aromatic, sweet mild flavor. Strictly tropical requiring a humid climate. Hardy in most soil types and tolerant of waterlogging. Malay apple's make great thirst quenching snacks. Fruits can be eaten fresh but are best as a stewed dessert. The fruit can also be used to make wines.

Easy to eat and can be used as a salad but must remove core-look out for worms.Can be eaten with sweet chili and soy sauce to remove aftertaste | Paul Lai - Sydney, NSW 27-Jul-2009
