The Rose apple is a fruit bearing plant that ranges to a height of 12 to 15 metres. Rose apple is a popular fruit native to Southeast Asia. 

The tree’s beautiful blossoms become bunches crisp, juicy and distinctly rose scented fruits that are highly prized for jellies and confections. The plant is easy to grow, moderately cold hardy and tolerates poor soils.

In Ayurveda, the fruit is used as a tonic for the brain and liver. An infusion of the fruit acts as a diuretic. A sweetened preparation of the flowers is believed to reduce fever.
