Strange Syzygium at SFBG

[elouicious]

I was strolling around SFBG this weekend in the Chile/New Zealand Area and found an interesting Syzygium tree








The fruits taste very similar to Syzygium smithii and are about the same size but the growth habit is completely different, this one is like a large hedge

Anyone got any idea what it is? I always thought these fruit were a nice novelty but the poor flesh to seed ratio and gigantic size of the S. smithii tree is a no-go for me

There are quite a few white syzygiums, I have a book that is sorted by color!

Hell yeah brian!

exactly what I was looking for

there was some pink blush on the fruits and some mottling on the skin

what book is this?

[brian]

This is from 'Australian Rainforest Fruits - a Field Guide" by Wendy Cooper.  Very pretty pictures, not much else though.

They are mostly Syzygiums from my local area and there are plenty more.

Any idea what it might be Mike?
