Origin
Native to Southeast Asia. Planted in most tropical countries and naturalized in many parts of tropical Asia. The tree was introduced around 1762 into Jamaica, from where it spread throughout the Caribbean and Central America. It is considered invasive in some regions, including Hawaii and parts of Central America and the Galápagos Islands. 10
The rose apple was introduced into Florida, at Jacksonville, before 1877, but, as a fruit tree, it is suited only to the central and southern parts of the state. In California, it is planted as far north as San Francisco for its ornamental foliage and flowers. Because the tree occupies considerable space and the fruit is little valued, the rose apple has not been planted in Florida in recent years, though there are quite a number of specimens remaining from former times. 3
It is not a crop for commercial orchards, but the trees are widely grown in home gardens. 2

Description

There are over 500 species in the genus, and S. jambos may be confused with several of them, notably another weedy species, S. cumini. However, the rosewater smell of S. jambos fruit is distinctive for the species. 8
The rose apple is a highly decorative evergreen large shrub or small tree growing to about 20 feet with low spreading branches and pale-brown bark. It is wide spreading and often will be wider than its height. 6

Leaves
The leaves are about 10 x 0.6-2.4 in. (26 × 1.5-6 cm) in size, shiny and pink when young then fading to pale green on the upper side and lighter green and obscurely glandular punctate on the lower side. They are narrow and gradually tapered to the base with 0.3-0.5 in. (6-13 mm) long petiole. 11

Pollination
Pollination is by bees and other insects that are strongly attracted to the plentiful nectar. 13

Flowers
The flowers are creamy-white or greenish-white, 2 to 4 in (5-10 cm) wide, consisting mostly of about 300 conspicuous stamens to 1 1/2 in (4 cm) long, a 4-lobed calyx, and 4 greenish-white, concave petals. There are usually 4 or 5 flowers together in terminal clusters. 3
The flowers are a rich source of nectar for honeybees. 6

Fruit
The fruit ripens 3 months after bloom. The rosewater smell of the fruit is distinctive for the species. 2
Capped with the prominent, green, tough calyx, the fruit is nearly round, oval, or slightly pear-shaped, 1 1/2 to 2 in (4-5 cm) long, with smooth, thin, pale-yellow or whitish skin, sometimes pink-blushed, covering a crisp, mealy, dry to juicy layer of yellowish flesh, sweet and resembling the scent of a rose in flavor. In the hollow center, there are 1 to 4 brown, rough-coated, medium-hard, more or less rounded seeds, 3/8 to 5/8 in (1-1.6 cm) thick, which loosen from the inner wall and rattle when the fruit is shaken. Fragments of the seedcoat may be found in the cavity. The fruit is non-climacteric. 3

Varieties
There are no standard cultivars available but selections can be made from the available variability. 9

Harvesting
Rose apples bruise easily and are highly perishable. They must be freshly picked to be crisp. 3

Propagation
Roseapple is normally propagated by seed. The seeds have no dormancy and germinate well. A single seed often gives rise to 3-8 seedlings, most of which are true to type. Other methods of propagation include air layering, budding and grafting. Air layering is commonly done in India and Bangladesh during the quiescent season. The layers are planted after half a year. Roseapple can be budded on 10-12-month-old rootstocks using the modified Forkert method; Syzygium pycnanthum Merr. & Perry and Syzygium samarangense (Blume) Merr. & Perry can also serve as rootstocks. The juvenile phase lasts 4-5 years; air layered trees bear fruit within 4 years. 2

Planting

The rose apple is too large to make a suitable container plant. 6
Adequate shade must be provided to the plants during the early stages of growth to avoid drying out by the sun. 9

Pruning
Pruning of rose apples is not usually necessary. In some countries it is pruned drastically to promote dense growth and used as hedgerows around coffee plantations. 6

Irrigation
The tree will tolerate semi-arid conditions, but prolonged dry spells are detrimental. It should have frequent irrigation when the weather is warm, and kept on the dry side when it’s cold. 6

Pests
The rose apple tree has few insect enemies. In humid climates, the leaves are often coated with sooty mold growing on the honeydew excreted by aphids. 3

Diseases
They are also prone to leaf spot caused by Cercospora sp., Gloeosporium sp., and Phyllosticta eugeniae; algal leaf spot (Cephaleuros virescens); black leaf spot (Asterinella puiggarii); and anthracnose (Glomerella cingulata). Root rot caused by Fusarium sp., and mushroom root rot (Armillariella (Clitocybe) tabescens) attack the tree. 3

Food Uses
The pulp has a high pectin content, making it suitable for use as a settling agent. 2
Around the tropical world, rose apples are mostly eaten out-of-hand by children. They are seldom marketed. In the home, they are sometimes stewed with some sugar and served as dessert. Culinary experimenters have devised other modes of using the cuplike halved fruits. One stuffs them with a rice-and-meat mixture, covers them with a tomato sauce seasoned with minced garlic, and bakes them for about 20 minutes. Possible variations are limitless. The fruit is made into jam or jelly with lemon juice added, or more frequently preserved in combination with other fruits of more pronounced flavor. It is also made into a sirup for use as a sauce or to flavor cold drinks. In Jamaica, the halved or sliced fruits are candied by stewing them in very heavy sugar sirup with cinnamon. 3
When cooked with custards or puddings, they impart a rose flavor. The flowers can also be candied. 6

Nutritional Value
The fruit contains per 100 g edible portion: water 84-89 g, protein 0.5-0.8 g, fat 0.2-0.3 g, carbohydrates 9.7-14.2 g, fibre 1-2 g, ash 0.3-0.4 g, carotene 123-235 IU, vitamin B complex 0.55-1.04 mg and vitamin C 3-37 mg. The energy value is 234 kJ/100 g. 2

Medicinal Properties **
In India, the fruit is regarded as a tonic for the brain and liver. An infusion of the fruit acts as a diuretic.
A sweetened preparation of the flowers is believed to reduce fever. The seeds are employed against diarrhea, dysentery and catarrh. In Nicaragua, it has been claimed that an infusion of roasted, powdered seeds is beneficial to diabetics. They say in Colombia that the seeds have an anesthetic property.
The leaf decoction is applied to sore eyes, also serves as a diuretic and expectorant and treatment for rheumatism. The juice of macerated leaves is taken as a febrifuge. Powdered leaves have been rubbed on the bodies of smallpox patients for the cooling effect. 3
The bark contains 7-12.4% tannin. It is emetic and cathartic. The decoction is administered to relieve asthma, bronchitis and hoarseness. Cuban people believe that the root is an effective remedy for epilepsy. 3

Other Uses
In 1849, it was announced in Bengal that the ripe fruits, with seeds removed, could be distilled 4 times to make a "rosewater" equal to the best obtained from rose petals. 3
A yellow essential oil, distilled from the leaves, contains, among other properties, 26.84% dl-a-pinene and 23.84% l-limonene, and can be resorted to as a source of these elements for use in the perfume industry. 3
The wood has been used to make furniture, spokes for wheels, arms for easy chairs, knees for all kinds of boats, beams for construction, frames for musical instruments (violins, guitars, etc.), and packing cases. It is also popular for general turnery. 3
The flowers are a rich source of nectar for honeybees and the honey is a good amber color. Much comes from the San Cristobal River Valley in Cuba. 3
The bark contains 7% tannin on a dry weight basis and is used for tanning and dyeing purposes.
The plant is a useful melliferous and ornamental species; with its regular shape, attractive foliage and striking appearance in bloom, it is a useful avenue tree along driveways, etc. 2

General
As is often the case the botanical name is Greek tainted by Latin. Syzygium is said to refer to the tree’s paired leaves, one also sees “twin” leaves. The base word, however, is zygos (zi-GHOS) the yoke. A person’s spouse in Greece is called my Zizigos (ZEE-zee-ghos) my yoke mate. So the Greek speaker would be strongly tempted to pronounce Syzygium as zee-ZEE-ee-yum. Anglicized Latin would have it sizz-ZYE-gee-um. Jambos (jam-BOS) is the Malaysian name for rose-apple though it comes from Sanskrit’s Jambudvīpa, which means rose apple land. 4
