Wax apple is light sweet, crunchy, and lightly astringent, and must be protected from the sun.

There are a few varieties out there:

Thai jumbo
red diamond
black pearl
green diamond
red rocket
perfume
black kingkong.

You can order from this website.  I ordered the Green Diamond and Missile from it, but the tree is very small, and need a lot of care.  The bad part I don't like is there is no label for the trees, don't know what varieties.

As far as I know all those varieties are only availabe on the West Coast. I have never seen these named varieties at an East Coast Nursery.
