Syzygium samarangense
The Red Wax Jambu is a striking tropical fruit with vibrant red skin and a waxy sheen. The fruit is crisp, refreshing, and slightly sweet with a mild, watery texture, similar to a pear or apple. Its subtle floral flavour makes it an excellent snack on hot days and is also perfect for fruit salads, salsas, or chilled desserts. Red Wax Jambu is easy to grow in tropical climates and is valued for both its aesthetic appeal and delicious taste.
