Genome assemblies for clove (<i>Syzygium aromaticum</i>, 370 Mb) and sea apple (<i>Syzygium grande</i>, 405 Mb) provided the first insights into the genomic features and evolution of the <i>Syzygium</i> genus. Here, we present additional <i>de novo</i> chromosome-scale genome assemblies for <i>Syzygium malaccense, Syzygium aqueum, Syzygium jambos</i>, and <i>Syzygium syzygioides.</i> Genome profiling analyses show that <i>S. malaccense</i>, like <i>S. aromaticum</i> and <i>S. grande</i>, is diploid (2n = 2x = 22), while the <i>S. aqueum</i>, <i>S. jambos</i>, and <i>S. syzygioides</i> specimens are autotetraploid (2n = 4x = 44).
