Abhishek S Kumar
SKU: AS060
Carambola fruit is a sweet, yet acidic, fruit native to Southeast Asia. It is also called starfruit due to the shape of the fruit because when sliced it reveals a perfect five-point star.
Carambola starfruit trees require warm climates. The leaves of the starfruit tree are arranged in a spiral pattern. They are soft, medium green, and smooth on the top with a mildly hairy underside. They are light-sensitive and fold at night or when the tree is disrupted. Clusters of pink to lavender blooms occur several times a year and give way to the waxy, yellow-skinned fruit.
