Syzygium erythrocalyx

[BMc]

A few of the Red Bud Satinash or Johnson River Apple (Syzygium erythrocalyx) were bearing at the local BG today. There were two forms on offer, the purple and the red. The red is a beautiful fruit on a short shrubby plant, while the purples were from a much taller, sparser plant, but  oth in quite heavy shade. The taste is fairly tart. Like a sharp malay apple without the perish flavour. Gorgeous tree and the fruit is okay.

Never hear about Syzygium erythrocalyx, y can only write it by copy+paste :-D

Very rare fruit, thanks for sharing, is it sweet? acid?

They are quite tart. Sweeter near the skin. Purple have more flavour and are a bit juicier, while the red seems a bit more dry.
