Syzygium aqueum of Indonesia: I send you Syzygium aqueum form our area. Although it is acidic, I hope you like it.
Very nice presentation. The fruits are available in Mysore during the season (of course a few varieties).
I have eaten this fruit from different South-East Asian countries. It is crisp and juicy, not sweet but delicately flavoured.
Forgot to tell you, we have these in plantations near Baruipur area in west bengal.. we get to eat these from bazaars in end of july to early august.. for a short season... Hort had planted a couple ... but they are gone... reasons too unsavoury to list here...
The blackish biggest one is the most delicious, because it is sour but sweet. Children like it very much, and me too. Thank you for your appreciation.

Sharing the image of Syzigium malaccense from Coimbatore.
What is the color of the flower?
What does it taste like? Is it sour? sweet? or astringent?
To me this image looks closer to images at Syzygium aqueum
