Genus: Syzygium

wonderful picture and nice flower!

Syzygium fibrosum looks very similar to Syzygium paniculatum...the leaves are just a little larger. Very nice!

beautiful flower Marquerite.reminds me of a sparkler

Very pretty.
Looks like those decorative lights.
Can't recall their name.

Well Skippy, this is my tree and is in a restricted area ( under shadecloth - heavens knows why the former owners planted it there ) and it has reached the ceiling. It has only had about 5 flowers, from which I had 3 red fruit ( very sour too ), but I believe in their natural habitat in the rainforest they must get more flowers. This one was growing close to the tree trunk.

Isn't that blossom absolutely fscinating? I love the color too. Does it get a lot of these blooms?

Another name is water apple. They taste good, provided they are dark red, crisp and watery, with a slight sour taste.

We have a lot of spiders in our area. They can create many webs on trees and plants...I usually just hose the plants off...it generally gets rid of most of the spider-webs.

Hosing off the spider webs?
Please explain more. Thanks.

I make as interesting as possible. There's always a story. LOL.

Marguerite,

This plant is growing through the large monkey enclosure at the San Diego Zoo.

It is soft to touch, as long as you don't hold it too long, as the ants love the nectar too and they bite if you get into their territory, lol. Yes Delonix, somewhere along here are the pics with the fresh pink new leaves too. This is however a different one than the two next to it, which has pink flowers. I have three small trees next to each other, again used as screening plants. The ants just love them and make a lot of nests in them, guess the leaves are soft and easy to stick together.

Well, they could be cut off with a whipper snipper. I would like to know why that mesh is there and if I am right, the tree has grown through it. What is the reason, or is it someones fence?
I noticed the mango tree leaves, have seen thousands in the past 4 years, lol. Have even one in my back garden.

Wow, some interesting stories on this one!

Cumini, it would not taste like cumin now would it? Wonder what the fruit looks and taste like/ Nice shape. Does it come from Java?

It,s beautiful , and is just like a powder puff :0)

I really like this tree. This tree grows easily here...I like how the new leaves open up pinkish and red colors. Beautiful!

It sure does...is it really very soft?

The tree didn't any fruit on it when I took this picture...which is pretty unusual since this tree can have fruit almost any time of the year.

oh right, lol well i hope the person sitting there knows that

This tree is about 30 feet tall and very lush which is typical.

It would not be a good place to relax when it has its thousands of purple fruit which stain everything.

ts huge, the bench looks dwarfed with it, looks like a lovely place to sit and relax

Note: because it produces so many fruit...it has a tendency to become a weed tree in wet and even drier areas. I have seen many seedlings under large trees.

So sweet. Love the little tufty bits.

Buds are just opening.

No, the flowers are different and I have taken a picture, but still on the camera. They are only just opening up at the moment. Hang in there, they'll soon be on display,lol.

So pretty. What are the flowers like or do the new leaves serve as blooms?

Yes, and we can eat them too, too sour raw, but they're good for jam making, but I don't do it.

What pretty colour fruits - do the birds like them?

The dark ones are ripe and you can eat them. I have never done so.

Have you tasted these fruit Marguerite.....chezs
