there is one big difference in the FRUITS of these three
Syzygiums....
Syzygium Jambo... fruit is not pear shaped, is oblong, yellowish
pinkish with a tinge of green, and brown as it ripens... and is
hollow... with a round seed or two inside... the wall of the hollow
fruit is 5 - 8 mm thick, fragrant, smells faintly of a rose... or even
a honeysuckle flower...
AND
Syzygium samarangense and Syzygium malaccense while very
different botanically... share the characteristics that the fruits are
oblong yet pear shaped, and almost solid , 1- 1.5 cms on either side
from the center, which may or may not have a seed...(seedless
varieties are taking over in commercial cultivation, it seems) ....
Thanks,
Usha di
