Rose Apple Tree 25G

Rose Apple Tree in 25-Gallon Pot available in Jupiter, FL.

Fragrant, floral, and refreshingly crisp—the Rose Apple Tree (Syzygium jambos) in a 25-gallon pot delivers a tropical fruit experience like no other. With its glossy foliage, puffy white blossoms, and pear-shaped fruit that tastes like rosewater-infused apples, this unique tree is a favorite among rare fruit enthusiasts and South Florida growers alike.

This 25-gallon specimen is robust, ready to transplant or thrive in a large container, and primed for quick flowering and fruiting in warm, sunny conditions.

Care & Growing Info (Optimized for South Florida):

• Sunlight: Flourishes in full sun to partial shade. At least 6 hours of direct sunlight ensures better flowering and fruit production.

• Watering: Water consistently and deeply, especially during the dry season and fruiting period. Mulch to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature.

• Soil: Grows best in rich, well-drained soil—tolerant of sandy soils when supplemented with compost or organic matter. Slightly acidic to neutral pH is ideal.

• Fertilizer: Apply a balanced tropical fruit fertilizer 2–3 times per year, with extra potassium during bloom and fruit set. Iron and magnesium supplements help maintain leaf color.

• Growth Habit: Upright, evergreen tree with dense foliage and smooth bark. In a 25-gallon pot, it stands 5–7 feet tall, with the potential to reach 12–20 feet in the ground over time.

• Temperature: Best suited for USDA Zones 10–11. Thrives in South Florida’s subtropical heat and humidity. Young trees should be protected from frost.

• Maintenance: Low to moderate. Prune to manage size, encourage branching, and improve air circulation. Pest-resistant and adaptable with proper care.

Fruit Notes: Produces pale yellow or greenish fruit with crisp, watery flesh and a distinctly floral, rose-like flavor and aroma. Eaten fresh, in salads, or made into jellies and beverages.
