Update: Flower buds!!!


Only a few flowers, but this is the first time.
Planted this tree at my parents house ~6 years ago (from a 1 gal)


The trees has been cut back twice.
Cut back 1/3 of the tree last summer.

Nice, skhan! Those flowers are gorgeous. :) I've got yet to try Malay apple. I have several seedlings growing at the moment, but I know I won't have enough space to accommodate them. :/ I'll probably just trade them or something.
Would it even be worth trying to graft/etc and vigorously prune the tree? I've seen members with grades wax jambu fruiting in large containers, but I'm not sure if it'd be worth the time/space unless I had a huuuuge greenhouse.

I've seen people grow wax jambu in pots but not Malay apple.
Over here Malay Apples seem like its mostly grown from seed, I'm curious to see how much less vigor it would have grafted or as a cutting.
I had two planted, traded one away. It had a huge tap root growing straight down. I only managed to dig out 2 feet of it before it snapped.

I don't think there has been much selection on this from, same like wax jambu gets all the attention. I wish the season longer.
From what i understand is it give you a crap load a fruits for like two weeks and then nothing.

I have one in 30 gallons for almost 3 years. I don't know when it will flower. Does anyone have Malay apple in San Diego that bloom? My green wax jambu finally bring me joy when I has one flower bud . The Malay apple nearby is too stubborn to keep the flower buds to herself only. I guess I have to take  out my prunner and threaten it like I did to greeen wax jambu.

Trees begin flowering and fruiting at an age of 7 to 8 years.
