Rose Apple

[Sagan]

The smell is wonderful, they aren't great for eating out of hand but are really good when used lightly in things like pastries or adding as a flavor enhancer when making other fruit jams and jellies.... This tree is so big and vigorous I want to top work it with a few different wax jambus since my family likes those much more. I just need to find some good varieties

My rose apples have a round shape and I really enjoy them out of hand. Have you tried the fruit from other trees?

They are called rose or musk apples here and are a coomon street tree.This species is not usually esteemed in my neck of the woods.Myrtle rust is their big enemy,

Our rose apples are also round.  We give them to our guests as an oddity.   Just weird texture (spongy) and taste (rose water). But pretty flowers!

I have tried fruit from several trees, they were all very similar.

I agree, they aren't bad when eating fresh- they just are kinda spongy and are completely hollow- just a small amount of flesh and not much to eat... But when you throw a few in the pot when making jams and jellies it adds a awesome flavor
