Jambu is a small tree or large shrub which grows to 10-40 feet in height. The branches grow close to the ground and make a short, crooked trunk. The fruit are oblong in shape, narrower at the stem end. The fruit are 2 to 10 inches long, 1 to 6 inches wide. The leaves are pink when young and become dull, light-green above and yellowish-green beneath when mature. The fruit can be many different colors. The flowers bloom twice a year, with the fruit becoming ripe in August through September. Rainforest animals like the gibbons, monkeys and the Jambu Dove enjoy eating the fruit from the Jambu tree.
Jambu has many adaptations. One of the adaptations of the Jambu plant is its ability to store water. The plant stores water in the trunk so it is available when it is needed most. Another adaptation is the plants ability to adjust to different climates. That means it can adapt to both colder and warmer weather. It can also survive in both dry and wet weather. The Jambu plant can adapt to any soil condition, including the poor soil of the rainforest.
