You will receive one Red wax apple in 3 Gallons pot
The wax apple, also known as Syzygium samarangense or rose apple, is a fruit that grows on a tropical evergreen tree. Its appearance is distinctive and captivating.
The fruit itself is usually small to medium-sized, about the size of a small apple, though sometimes it can be slightly larger. Its shape is typically round or slightly pear-shaped, with a smooth, waxy skin that shines in bright hues of pink, red, or even purple. The skin is thin yet sturdy, giving it a glossy, polished appearance. When ripe, the skin is firm to the touch but yields slightly under gentle pressure.
Slicing through the skin reveals the crisp, white flesh inside, which contrasts beautifully with the vibrant exterior. The flesh is juicy and succulent, with a texture reminiscent of biting into a crisp cucumber or watermelon. Its flavor is delicate and refreshing, offering a subtle sweetness with floral undertones and a hint of tartness. Each bite releases a burst of refreshing juice, making it a delightful treat on a hot day.
The fruit typically contains small, brown seeds clustered in the center, though some varieties are seedless. These seeds are edible but are often discarded due to their slightly bitter taste and crunchy texture.
Overall, the wax apple is not only visually stunning but also a delicious and refreshing fruit that embodies the essence of tropical paradise.
Plant Care:
Climate and Location: Wax apples thrive in tropical or subtropical climates with warm temperatures and high humidity. They prefer full sun but can tolerate partial shade. Choose a location in your garden or yard that receives plenty of sunlight and has well-drained soil.
Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the growing season. Water deeply and regularly, ensuring that the root zone is adequately hydrated. However, avoid over watering, as waterlogged soil can lead to root rot. Mulching around the base of the tree can help retain moisture and suppress weeds.
Fertilization: Apply a balanced fertilizer formulated for fruit trees during the growing season. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for the correct dosage and frequency. Avoid fertilizing during the dormant season.
