Poocha Pazham (Syzygium zeylanicum), also known as the Cat Fruit or Cat-Eye Fruit, is a rare tropical fruit tree native to South Asia and belongs to the Myrtaceae family. A close relative of the Rose Apple, this unique fruit tree was once commonly found across Kerala, but is now considered a rare and valuable addition to home gardens and tropical fruit collections.

The tree is slender and evergreen, growing up to 10 meters tall under favorable conditions. It produces attractive clusters of yellowish-white, fluffy flowers that resemble soft tufts of cat fur, giving the tree its popular name. These ornamental blooms are followed by beautiful white, ball-shaped fruits that grow in clusters, enhancing the tree's visual appeal.

The fruits are soft, fleshy, and pleasantly aromatic, with a unique fragrance often compared to freshly roasted rice flakes (Aval). Their mild sweetness and distinctive aroma make them a delightful tropical fruit enjoyed by many.
