I am the "Emerald Treasure" of Indonesia, a legendary and high-quality wax apple variety that is often considered the gold standard for its category. I produce medium-to-large, bell-shaped fruits that are distinguished by my stunning color—a deep, glossy green that develops beautiful red-maroon stripes or a full blush as I reach peak ripeness. My flesh is incredibly thick, crisp, and juicy, offering a refreshing sweetness with a unique, subtle floral fragrance.
I am a premium "Jambu Air" (Water Apple) variety prized for my crunchiness, high water content, and the fact that I am almost entirely seedless, making me the perfect refreshing snack.
I originated in the Sleman region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia, where I am celebrated as a superior local cultivar and a symbol of high-quality tropical fruit.
I am a thirsty tree; I require consistent and frequent watering to keep my fruit juicy and prevent them from dropping, but I must have well-drained soil to avoid root rot.
I love the sun; I need at least 6 to 8 hours of direct sunlight to develop my sugars and the beautiful red-striped coloration on my skin.
I thrive in hot, humid tropical climates between 25°C and 35°C; I am very sensitive to cold and prefer environments with high humidity to keep my foliage lush.
I have a vigorous and spreading growth habit; I respond exceptionally well to pruning and can even be grown in large containers or "drums" in urban garden settings.
I am a moderate feeder; I respond beautifully to organic compost and balanced NPK fertilizers, especially during my heavy flowering and fruiting cycles.
My scientific name is Syzygium samarangense 'Dalhari' and I belong to the Myrtaceae family, making me a relative of the Guava and Lilly Pilly.
My crisp flesh is safe and hydrating for pets, but like all stone-less fruits of this family, ensure pets do not ingest large quantities of my leaves or stems.
My large, glossy evergreen leaves are fantastic at producing oxygen and providing a cooling, "rainforest-like" microclimate in your backyard.
I am low in calories but high in Vitamin C and fiber; I am exceptionally hydrating and have a cooling effect on the body, making me the ultimate summer fruit.
My fruit is very delicate and attractive to fruit flies; many growers "bag" my fruit clusters while they are still on the tree to protect their flawless skin.
I am a fast-growing and productive perennial tree that can continue to provide you with "crunchy-sweet" harvests for 30 to 50 years.
