Way back to last year at this time, basking in the #Jamaican sun with my second favorite #fruit #EthiopianApple. #fulljoy#nature#travel (at Jamaica)

I'm super excited about this one! I have another seed about to pop as well. It also looks like it's polyembryonic. #EthiopianApple #TropicalFruit #ExoticFruit #GodOfGreen Syzygium malaccense is a species offlowering tree native to Malaysia,[1] Indonesia(Sumatra and Java)[1] Vietnam and Thailand. It has been introduced throughout the tropics, including many Caribbean countries and territories, such as Panama, Costa Rica,Jamaica, Puerto Rico, Suriname, theDominican Republic, Honduras, Guyana,Trinidad and Tobago, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Venezuela. Syzygium malaccense has a variety of common names. It is known as a Malay rose apple, or simply Malay apple, jambu merah(Malaysian language, meaning "red guava"),jambu bol (Indonesian, meaning "ball guava"),Malay rose apple, Otaheite cashew andpommerac (derived from pomme Malac, meaning "Malaysian apple" in French). Despite the fact that it is sometimes called the otaheite cashew, syzygium malaccense is not related to cashew – an important distinction because cashews may trigger severe allergic reactions[2][3] while syzygium malaccense does not appear to cause allergic reactions.[4] Highly ambiguous terms, such as "rose apple", "water apple", "mountain apple", "pomarrosa" or "plum rose" are sometimes used for this plant or its fruit; they can refer to almost any species of Syzygium grown for its fruit. The name "Otaheite apple" is used, too, (in Jamaica), but is better used for theTahitian apple (Spondias dulcis); "Otaheite" is an obsolete transcription of "Tahiti". It's Hawaiian name is ʻōhiʻa ʻai; in Tonga, it is known as fekika, and in Fiji, kavika; in Palau, it is known as rabotel (Palauan).
