I'm such a sucker for tropical fruit. It's my white whale hither inwards Seattle, I know our surroundings isn't made from tropicals merely I honey trying anyways.
This is my novel Thai Wax Jambu.
(syzygium samarangense)
(AKA: Eugenia javanica)
It's a bell shaped mild tasting fruit that grows inwards Southeast Asia as well as other tropical climates.
This tropical tree tin grow to a elevation of xvi to l feet (5-15m) depending upon temperature as well as atmospheric condition conditions. Wax Jambu is native to Malaya as well as the Nicobar Islands where the trees grow inwards coastal rainforests. It is real mutual inwards Southeast Asia and, Thailand, Viet Nam, Taiwan, Zanzibar as well as India. It too grows good inwards key as well as South America.
Wax Jambu is ultra-tropical as well as cannot cause temperatures below 45 degrees, preferring temperatures inwards a higher house 65 degrees. Which agency it comes within for the winter. I've already made the fault final twelvemonth of killing my other tropicals inwards the greenhouse.
Soil must live on fertile for practiced fruit production. Flowers seem inwards May as well as June inwards Florida as well as fruits ripen inwards July as well as August. If it fruits at all it would in all likelihood live on subsequently hither inwards the Seattle area.
It is a heavy producer on practiced soils as well as tin create 500-700 fruit when v years old. The ripe, pinkish fruits are small-scale (about 3/4 - 1" / 2- 2.5cm) long, sweetness as well as tin live on eaten fresh or cooked, for sauces, jams as well as jellies. Green fruits are eaten raw amongst salt.
