Syzygium samarangense ‘Red Rocket’ - Red Rocket Wax Jambu

I'd never heard of this so I did a search & saw lots of images of it! The fruits look like mini red peppers! I saw a picture of the fruit cut open & the interior looks mostly solid & not mostly empty like peppers.

The flowers alone would make growing this plant worth the while! I saw white flowers with a "starburst" of stamens. Really attractive. :)

It’s a very popular tropical fruiting tree here in San Diego. It can grow very large to 30 ft (10 m) here. Most people keep them less than 15 ft (4.5 m). It’s easier to pick the fruit when smaller, which is produced in tremendous amounts.

My friend used to bring me bags of the fruit from his friend’s tree. It taste really good and refreshing.
