Tom says... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syzygium_samarangense http://www.daleysfruit.com.au/fruit%20pages/waxjambu.htm Check out those links, Rob, and see if it resembles your photos. We call them Wax Apple or Wax Jambu over on this side of the planet because we call Syzygium jambos Rose Apple. Looks like Daley's lists them similarly to what we call them. | About the Author Tom Orlando FL 10th February 2011 10:30am #UserID: 3912 Posts: 101 View All Tom's Edible Fruit Trees |

speedy says... Yeah that's S.malaccense ,one of the 'jambu' fruit species. Jambu bol, Jambu besar It's the one that's been known in NNSW as big lau lau or lau lau which is the PNG name for it. I believe John Vanderbyl (Vanderbyl's nursery -Main Arm) may have brought the seed in from PNG many years ago (before restrictions on Myrtaceae importation)... ...and the name with it. It's much softer than the Wax Jambus (S.samarangense). and doesn't have the rose scent that the rose apple (S.jambos) has. | About the Author Nth Vic 11th February 2011 12:41pm #UserID: 0 Posts: View All 's Edible Fruit Trees |
