Yeah, and if you sign up they send you their page every month. Little error they made BTW is that malay apple comes in other colors besides the classic red. Here we also have white, pink, purple, and almost black--really very dark purple malay apples. I think same is true for java apple, also called wax jambu apple, also comes in many different colors.

The malay apple is one of my favorite fruit. Hardly fruits here in FL though it seems. This years mild winter might mean an actual crop for these with fruiting trees.

Mountain apple (malay apple) is one of the few canoe fruits, ones the Hawaiians brought over on their first trips here, probably from Marquesas Islands. The other fruits introduced at that time (around 300 AD?) were Wi apple (Ambarella or June Plum, Spondias cytherea), bananas, breadfruit, and coconuts.
