<p><i>Syzygium grande</i> flourishes in coastal forests as well as on sandy and rocky shores. Its blossoms produce nectar that likely attracts bats for pollination, while also enticing insects such as bees, butterflies, and birds. This species can be propagated through seeds and cuttings. Bats consume its fruits, aiding in seed dispersal, and it serves as a host plant for the moth <i>Parasa lepida</p>. </p>
