Jambu Air - another hit!

This is the 1st time Jambu air tree produce mass fruits!

The tree was full of fruits . I share them with neighbours, friends, relatives and animals like squirrels, ants and others. It was so abundance!

We had Jambu air for lunch and dinner. It taste sweet and juicy! 

Finally we could not finish it up. So I make 2 bottles of  jambu air cordial! My own invention!

Then jambu air pie....similar to apple pie! I should pattern the recipe and become rich! hahahhaa...

They taste so good in pie too!

Now the plant is back to only leaves! But the harvest will last long in my memories until it fruits again in future! ;)

Fruit harvest!

I manage to pluck some star fruits and jambu air last week. Jambu air went missing the moment I bring in the basket. I'm left with only 3 when these photos were taken. I just realise there is an orange in the basket. The Orange is of course from wet market ! haha...

The fruits are so juicy and refreshing to be eaten in this hot weather. Some of the fruits was attacked by fruit flies. The tree is so tall that i could not protect them. Anyway we still manage to taste some. The fruits was so sweet and free from pesticides!.

As the name imply, the fruits in star shape!

Jambu tree flowers

This is my jambu tree. 

The jambu tree flowers have been blooming brightly. It look so beautiful in white. They  dangle down like little lantern. I admit that i fail to admire their beauty in the past! 

 The flowers is full bloom.

Jambu tree

 My jambu tree has started to produce fruits. Last months there was 9 fruits but all taken by the monkeys.

This time i saw a lot of small flowers. If all become fruits, it's enough to share with everyone I guess.

 I can imagine the red , bell shape fruits now. They are so sweet and juicy. Packed with Vitamin C.

The fruits are seldom seen nowadays in neighbourhood. I remember my hometown neighbour's tree. Once it start fruiting, it will be abundance. So abundance that it dropped down all over the place.

Will my jambu tree produce that much? let's wait and see the race!  

pokok jambu air merah

Jambu air merah also known as red rose apple in English. The fruit is rich in vitamins and called tonic for the brain.

beautiful young shoots

My tree is almost 2 years old but I can't see any fruits yet. The plant grow so much that I trim them down last weekend. I add some fruiting fertilizer in hope to see some fruits!

The fruits are bell shaped, red in colour and cotton soft mesh like structure. They taste sweet.
