Plant in front of my house

Rose Apple

This is a plant in my yard, it's called "Jambu Air" in English "rose apple". I have only planted the tree for 2 years, but it is starting to bear fruit. It comes from cuttings, not seeds, so it will bear fruit more quickly.

Of course, before the rainy season arrives, we who live in tropical countries can still enjoy a lot of fruit. After the rainy season, it's time to enjoy rambutan and durian, tropical countries are indeed a paradise for fruits.

@salma18 In my country, Indonesia, is just about to enter the rainy season. It's still rose apple time, but it's about to finish.

@Heelman82 Waah ... On the edge of my house there is also a guava tree like that. Maybe because of the rainy season. The guava fruit is also fruitful.

Yes, different names, this fruit is widely available in Southeast Asia, including your country, the Philippines.

Does it turn pink or deep pink when it ripens? Because we have a tree like that but the bell-shape fruit is pink almost to a red or Fushcia color. Right now it has no fruits but when it bears, it bears plenty. We eat it. Sometimes it is sweet, sometimes it is bland but it has a lot of health benefits, especially for diabetic patients.

There are two types, green and red. It's a little sweet, fresh and contains a lot of water. I think it is suitable for diabetics, because it is not so sweet and I think it is not too high in calories, suitable for dieting.

The pink one is different, but tastes almost the same.
