I encountered this tree for the first time 15 yrs ago in Belize where a neighbor of mine had a row of 6 seedling trees that he did not eat from. One was good enough that I always stopped to eat any that were on the tree. The other 5 were too resinous and or sour to enjoy. I planted seeds from a good variety of Surinam Cherry that ECHO in North Fort Meyers distributed, but never got to taste the fruit. I believe that I have not had the best Suriname Cherry, and I have had ones I've enjoyed. I'm always on the look out for a yummy Suriname Cherry. Have not seen it in Java, Sumatra, or Sabah. As a final word of support for Eugenia uniflora, where I lived in Belize, Acerola Cherry was full of fruit fly larvae ...but not Suriname Cherry.
