 '''Adaptation''': Rose apples flourish in tropical or near-tropical climates, but the tree is proving to be hardy enough (to about 25° F) to be grown as an ornamental as far north in California as San Francisco. A beautiful specimen is thriving in the rather cold, windy rare fruit section of Quail Gardens in Encinitas. The rose apple is too large to make a suitable container plant

	'''Fruit''': The fruits are 1 - 2 inches wide, almost round or a little longer than wide. When ripe they may be greenish or dull-yellow flushed with pink. The skin is smooth and thin, and the firm flesh yellowish, sweet and rose scente. The texture is crisp, almost crunchy when the fruit is ripe and freshly picked. They contains one to four medium hard, round seeds, which rattle around inside the fruit. The seed as well as the roots are regarded as poisonous. Seedless, thick-fleshed fruits have been experimentally produced by treating opened flowers with growth regulators such as naphthoxy acetic acid.

-The fruit tree '''''Syzygium jambos''''' (syn. ''Eugenia jambos'', ''Jambosa jambos'') has several common names, including '''chom pu''' or '''chom-phu''', '''rose apple''', '''Malay apple''', '''Malabar plum''', '''jambu''', '''champakka''' and '''pomarrosa'''. The edible fruit is shaped like a small pear. The plant is native to [[Southeast Asia]] but is naturalized in [[India]], especially the state of [[Kerala]]. It has also been introduced across the Americas where it now grows in wild thickets. Specimens have been planted on nearly every continent.
+'''Growth Habit''': The rose apple is a highly decorative evergreen large shrub or small tree growing to about 20 feet with low spreading branches and pale-brown bark. It is wide spreading and often will be wider than its height.
-The tree has long, glossy green leaves and white or greenish flowers. There are several varieties, including the one most common in Thailand bearing a pale green fruit, and Malaysian varieties with red skin. It is often some shade of dull yellow. The skin is thin and waxy, and the hollow core contains a small amount of inedible fluff. The flesh is a bit softer than that of an [[apple]]. It tastes like a cross between apple and [[watermelon]], with a very mild rose scent and a slightly bitter [[aftertaste]].
+'''Foliage''': The lanceolate leaves are 4 to 9 inches in length by 2 inches wide, shiny and pink when they first emerge, fading to pale green. When mature they are slightly leathery and dark green. They are narrow and elliptic in shape and gradually taper to a point. The foliage is produced in a dense, luxuriant mass that hides all branches from view.
-In ancient [[Sanskrit]], the land now called [[India]] was referred to by the ancient Indians themselves as ''[[Jambudvipa]]'', which means ''Roseappleland'' (''jambu'' = rose apple; ''dvipa'' = land).
+'''Flowers''': Rose apple flowers are large and showy, white to pale cream and sweetly scented. They are 2 - 4 inches wide and consist mostly of about 300 conspicuous stamens to 1-1/3 inches long. There are usually 4 or 5 flowers together in terminal clusters. The flowers are a rich source of nectar for honeybees.
-This plant can be quite invasive in areas where it has been introduced. It is a threat to several ecosystems, including those on several [[Hawaii|Hawaiian islands]], [[Réunion]], and the [[Galápagos Islands]], and in parts of [[Australia]] and [[Central America]].
+'''Fruit''': The fruits are 1 - 2 inches wide, almost round or a little longer than wide. When ripe they may be greenish or dull-yellow flushed with pink. The skin is smooth and thin, and the firm flesh yellowish, sweet and rose scente. The texture is crisp, almost crunchy when the fruit is ripe and freshly picked. They contains one to four medium hard, round seeds, which rattle around inside the fruit. The seed as well as the roots are regarded as poisonous. Seedless, thick-fleshed fruits have been experimentally produced by treating opened flowers with growth regulators such as naphthoxy acetic acid.
