Syzygium jambos aka Jambos
Taxonomy ID: 10886
    Syzygium jambos, also known as the rose apple, is an evergreen tree originating in Southeast Asia but now found in many other regions due to its introduction as an ornamental and fruit tree. With a regular, dense crown of wide-spreading branches, the tree can grow up to 10 meters tall and has a bole that can be up to 50cm in diameter. It has been cultivated for over 2,500 years and provides food, medicine, and a range of commodities for local populations. Its cream-colored flowers and dark-green foliage make it an attractive tree often grown as an ornamental and hedge plant in tropical gardens. 
Another rare houseplant, the Malabar Plum, also enjoys regular watering and direct light. It should be kept less than a foot away from a window and planted in well-draining soil. Repotting every time it doubles in size should eliminate the need for added fertilizers.
