Jamb

Scientific Name:
Syzygium jambos

Jamb, also known as the rose apple tree, is cultivated for both its ornamental beauty and its fruit, which is commonly used in jams, juices, and desserts. It thrives in well-drained, fertile soil, full sunlight, and requires moderate watering. The tree is valued for its glossy, evergreen foliage and fragrant flowers, adding aesthetic value to gardens. Its fruit, while sweet and tangy, is also rich in vitamin C and antioxidants. This plant is well-suited to tropical and subtropical climates, where it grows vigorously and offers both culinary and decorative benefits.
