Syzygium antisepticum, the shore eugenia, is a medium-sized rainforest tree from Malesia, usually 10 to 30 m tall, grown mainly for its shade and timber rather than as a garden plant. Keep it in warm, humid, wet tropical conditions with good light.
Syzygium antisepticum, or shore eugenia, is native to the floristic region of Malesia.
The plant is endemic to the islands of Sumatra, Java, and Borneo of the Greater Sunda Islands archipelago. It inhabits deciduous and evergreen forests, mangrove forests, and savannah, at altitudes from sea level up to about 1,400 m (4,600 ft).
