Star Fruit Seedling (Averrhoa carambola)

Star Fruit is an evergreen tropical fruit tree with woody, drooping branches. It makes a great ornamental addition to a home landscape, ticking all of the boxes for a plant that’s useful and good looking. Star Fruit is easy to grow and produces an over abundance of delicious and unique-shaped fruit.  In a tropical to subtropical climate, you can reap the bountiful rewards of growing Star Fruit trees that fruit nearly year-round, when exotic purple flowers give way to the 5-sided star fruits. Carambola fruits are in their prime when they ripen on the tree to a yellow-orange color. Enjoy this sweet star fruit variety fresh, in tea, or combination with other fruits and desserts, or as a garnish for tropical-themed dishes.  Star Fruit seedlings are capable of producing fruit within 2-3 years.
