Over bushy water apple tree

[Yellowthumb]

Sometimes, you pug plants to make them bushy and they just want to grow tall. But sometimes.

Here is my very bushy water apple. Well too bushy. How could the foliage so dense. Especially the new growth. Should I prune?

It looks just like one I put in the ground last month. What variety is it? Mine is supposed to be a newer larger variety similar to the Taiwanees 'Black Pearl'.

I don't have any pruning advice. The tree is not as far along as yours.

Never Heard of water apples??? What does it taste like yellowthumb?

I think they call them wax jambu as the common name in the area where I live.

I guess they taste like water. Or rose water. Let's what I heard.

Exactly. That's the name. What I got is the red wax jambu.
