The difference between syrup and wax apple

1. Differences between tree trunks

The sycamore can grow up to 10 meters tall, but its trunk is very short and has many branches.

An adult wax apple tree is about 3 meters tall and remains evergreen all year round.

2. Flower Differences

The cymes of Syzygium wilfordii are terminal, broadly ovate in shape, with white flowers and a diameter of 3 to 4 cm.

The wax apple has terminal or axillary cymes, about 5 to 6 cm long, with white flowers.

3. Leaf Difference

The leaves of the sycamore are leathery, oblong or lanceolate. 15 to 25 cm long and 3 to 4.5 cm wide.

The leaves of wax apple are thin leathery, oblong or elliptical, 10 to 22 cm long and 6 to 8 cm wide, with obtuse or slightly pointed apex and narrowed base.

4. Fruit Difference

The fruit of the sycamore is spherical, with a fleshy peel and a diameter between 3 cm and 5 cm. The fruit turns yellow when ripe.

The fruit of the wax apple is either pear-shaped or conical, and comes in colors such as turquoise and magenta. It is brightly colored, fleshy, and about 4 to 4 cm long.
