Tropical fruit? tree ID

[gurugu]

I was brought these seeds from Thailand and these are the plants that  sprouted . After searching on internet, the closest I've found is Artabrotys hexapetalus.

At first I also thought they could be mangosteen, but I'm pretty sure they aren't, because seeds lose their viability very soon.

What do you think?

Just a guess but it looks like some sort of Syzygium to me. ...wax jambu, Syzygium jambos?

At first, I had also thought it to be some sort of Eugenia, Syzygium, but this one's new leaves aren't red colour like  Eugenia, at least Jambo's, which is the one I have had in the ground for several years now.

Leaves are not so stiff either.

Besides, Syzygium leaves are opposite, and this one's aren't .

Finally, seeds are very different from Eugenia's. I'll try to find a pic of the seeds.

It could easily be a variety of Eugenia though.

Gracias de todas formas.

Un saludo.

*Oops wax jambu is Syzygium samarangense not S. jambos

These are the seeds I was talking about. They don´t look like those of Syzygium, do they?

Those seeds look a lot like a Planchonella species. I've grown P australis and P costata from seed and they both had similar shaped seed to yours, and alternate leaves. Might be worth investigating SE Asian Sapotaceae.

Very good shot. I had never heard of it. It could easily be it.

Internet says it has got over 100 of different species.

We'll see what happens when it grows bigger. I'll show a picture then. What I'm afraid is that it might be too tropical a tree to grow here.

Thanks a lot.

No problem, I hope it grows well for you, whatever it is!
