About Wax Jambu / Java Apple
Wax Jambu is a tropical fruit tree originally from Southeast Asia but now spreading fast across Africa due to its high demand and nutritional benefits. The tree is medium-sized, evergreen, and produces glossy, bell-shaped fruits that range in color from white to pink to deep red depending on the variety. The fruits are juicy, crunchy, and slightly sweet with a refreshing taste, making them a favorite in both local and export markets.
