Tree description

The carambola tree has long compound leaves (upto 50 cm long), pink flowers that appear either at leaf axiles or branch extremities. The tree has much ramifications and can reach a height of 5 m. Unlike most tropical trees, the carambola does not need much sunlight. In a container the starfruit does well, except it need constant moisture, extra sunlight and space to grow. It is unknown if the tree will fruit in a container, although it will flower peridocally.

Fruit description

Its fruit, the carambola, also known as star fruit and coromandel gooseberry, is a golden-yellow to green berry. When cut across it shows a 5-pointed ( sometimes 6-pointed) star shape, hence the name, "star fruit." Star fruits are crunchy, and have a slightly tart, acidic, sweet taste, reminiscent of pineapples and oranges. Its seeds are small and brown.

There are two varieties of starfruits: the acidulate one and the sweet one.
