(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.
