Syzygium fruticosum, also known as the bush apple, is a species of flowering plant in the myrtle family, Myrtaceae. It is native to the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu, but has been introduced to other Pacific islands and tropical regions of the world.
The plant typically grows as a shrub or small tree, reaching a height of 3 to 10 meters. Its leaves are oval-shaped and bright green, while its white or pink flowers grow in clusters. The fruit of the Syzygium fruticosum is a berry, typically around 2 to 3 centimeters in diameter, and has a juicy flesh that can be eaten raw or used to make juice or preserves. The fruit is sometimes referred to as a “bush apple” or “Solomon Island apple.”
Syzygium fruticosum is grown for its fruit and as an ornamental plant, and is considered to be an important food crop in some Pacific island cultures. The plant is adaptable to a wide range of soils and is resistant to pests and diseases, making it an attractive choice for home gardens and commercial orchards.
