However, it is native to somewhere in the Indo-Malayan region or Southeast Asia, probably originally in lowland rainforest. 6 In Hawaii, the Malay-apple was introduced during the early Polynesian migrations. 9 Description A delight to the eye in every respect, the Malay apple is much admired for the beauty of the tree, its flowers and its colorful, glistening fruits, without parallel in the family Myrtaceae. 7 The malay apple has exceptional ornamental value. The tree flowers abundantly as many as three times per year, filling the trunk and inner part of large branches with bright red or white, mildly fragrant flowers, which can be seen through openings in the canopy. Each flowering period lasts about 2 weeks, leaving the ground under the tree temporarily carpeted in red or white. 6
Fig. 7. S. malaccense habit, Hana Hwy, Maui, Hawai'i Fig. 8. 'Pomarroso' - Pero de agua (S. malaccense), Armenia, Colombia Fig. 9. Botanical specimen in the Naples Botanical Garden, Florida, USA Leaves Leaf blades are slightly curved upward on both sides of midrib, the lateral veins slightly sunken and connected near margins, the upper surface dark green or green and usually slightly shiny, and the lower surface dull light green. Scattered minute gland dots are visible with a lens when the blade is held toward the light. 2
Flowers Several to many odorless flowers are borne in clusters 4-5 inches across, almost stalkless on a short branched green lateral axis (cyme or panicle). The flower has a funnel-shaped, light purplish- green base (hypanthium) ¾ inch long and 7/16 inch wide at top, enclosing the ovary and extending as a broad tube 3/16 inch beyond. There are 4 broad, rounded, thickened, persistent sepals 1/8-3/16 inch long; 4 spreading, rounded, concave, purplish-red petals ½ inch long; the mass of stamens 1-11/4 inches long, purplish red with yellow dot anthers; and pistil composed of inferior 2-celled ovary and persistent purplish-red straight style about 1¼ inches long. As the stamens fall, the ground under the tree becomes a purplish-red carpet (Fig. 14,34 ).2 Inflorescences exclusively on defoliate twig-parts (Fig. 7). 3 There are definite flowering seasons, often two, sometimes three in a year, but the timing varies from year to year. There seems to be no regular growth rhythm for Malay apple. Apparently the trees are triggered in bloom (by wet weather following a dry period) more readily than water apple (S. aqueum) and wax jambu (S. samarangense) trees; at any rate, Malay apple usually has the most crops per year. 3

S. malaccense white flower duff on ground, Wailua, Maui, Hawai'i Fruit The fruit, oblong, obovoid, or bell-shaped, 2 to 4 in. (5-10 cm) long, 1 to 3 in. (2.5-7.5 cm) wide at the apex, has thin, smooth, waxy skin, rose-red or crimson or sometimes white with streaks of red or pink, and white, crisp or spongy, juicy flesh of very mild, sweetish flavor. There may be a single oblate or nearly round seed or 2 hemispherical seeds, 5/8 to 3/4 in. (1.6-2 cm) in width, light-brown externally, green internally and somewhat meaty in texture (Fig. 2). The fruits of some trees are entirely seedless. 7 Malay apple ripen about 60 days after bloom. 3 It is non-climacteric (will not ripen further after it is picked).

S. malaccense, Malay apple, Venezuela, Caura Lodge Fig. 36. S. malaccense, white Varieties There are two color forms, red and white, both of which are grown in home gardens. Trees with large and especially sweet fruit are sometimes cloned by cutting or air-layering. 6 Two varieties that have been grown in Florida are the 'Kingston', and the Thai 'Mameau' with leaves that have reached sixteen inches in length. 9 'Kingston' was introduced into Florida from Jamaica, by William F. Whitman. 'Kingston' is one of the largest al all Malay apples, having produced fruit up to 6 inches long and weighing over a pound. Dark-red, juicy fruits of good quality. 10 A third variety, 'Rookman', long, medium-sized, very sweet fruit with a texture like that of a peach. Originated in Trinidad where it is grown commercially and sold in the markets. Introduced into Florida by Al Will. 10 Harvesting Florida-grown Malay apple trees have been observed to bear two crops annually, one in the fall or winter and another in the spring. 9 Propagation Propagation from seed is common. Seeds are sometimes abortive. Seeds lose their viability quickly and should be sown fresh from the fruit. Clonal propagation through air layers, cuttings or budding is not difficult. Air layering is commonly employed in South-East Asia. The modified Forkert method is recommended for budding. Seedlings of the same or other Syzygium species are used as rootstocks. In Java 'jambu klampok' or 'kopo' (S. pycnanthum Merr. & Perry, syn. Eugenia densiflora (Blume) Duthie) is recommended as rootstock because it is hardy and not attacked by termites. 3 Planting The tree grows vigorously on a range of soil types from sand to heavy clay. It tolerates moderately acid soil but in high pH soil it develops nutritional deficiencies that can be overcome with the occasional use of micronutrient sprays. It does not do well in highly alkaline situations. 6 Pruning Pruning can control the tree’s size, although heavy pruning can kill the tree. 6 Irrigation The species require a reliable water supply and are often planted along streams or ponds. 3 Fertilization Fertilization is recommended after the inflorescence has formed since new flushes compete for nutrients with the flower and fruit. Both fruit colour and firmness were improved after calcium amendment to the soil. 11 Food Uses The ripe fruit is eaten raw. The skin is thin and the flesh is crisp and white. The slightly sweet taste is refreshing and can be a crunchy addition to a mixed fruit salad. Although not suited for jams or jellies, the half-ripened fruit can be pickled. Pickled or preserved slices and sauces, very heavily spiced, are found in southeast Asia. Wine is made from the fruit in Puerto Rico. 6 In Indonesia, the flowers are eaten in salads or are preserved in sirup. Young leaves and shoots, before turning green, are consumed raw with rice or are cooked and eaten as greens. 7 Medicinal Properties ** Various parts of the tree are used in traditional medicine, and some have in fact been shown to possess antibiotic activity. In particular the bark, leaves and roots of Malay apple are used against different ailments in a number of countries, also outside Asia (e.g. Hawaii, Brazil). 3 Other Uses The wood is reddish, hard and grows to dimensions large enough for construction purposes. 3 Other Edible Sysygium Species: Rose Apple, S. jambos Java Plum, S. cumini Wax Jambu, S. samarangense General In Hawai‘i the wood was considered sacred and carved into religious images. 6 Further Reading Syzygium malaccense, PROSEA Foundation Malay Apple Botanical Art List of Growers and Vendors |
