Star fruit tree

This tree is unbelievable!

It’s in my neighborhood too! It’s a star fruit and I’m sure it’s pretty old. I can’t believe how many fruits this tree yields. I need to talk to the owner and see what he does with all the fruit. I’d love to get some seeds. There are a lot of fruit on the ground.

A lot of S. Florida residents have fruit trees that yield too many fruit and they would LOOOVE for someone to come over and take some fruit off their hands. Perhaps he falls into this category and I could do him the favor of cleaning out the tree every couple days.

I’d love to throw these fruits into my daily fruit and veggie juices. How about kiwi + star fruit + orange!? Or, kiwi + strawberry + star!?
I had forgotten I germinated some star fruit seeds last year. They obviously didn't grow once they got out into the yard though. Here's the link to the photo.

  1. Hello, found your blog browsing others and got a kick out of this post. I cannot believe that a star fruit tree just grows in the backyard. Those fruits cost a small fortune over here. I am having fun reading about your trials and tribulations learning how to garden. Keep on gardening! Take care, Andrea from Germany

  2. I bought a star fruit tree last year. It died..I would love to have some seeds if you can spare them. Please email me at deecie1@gmail.com..I think it is a beautiful tree. I don't know why mine died, I babied it though the winter and it was fine here in San Antonio, TX, but maybe out drought killed it. Even Though I though I thought I was watering it enough. If you can share seeds, I would really appreciate it. I did buy a small greenhouse that I can put my pants in. Thanks for your consieration. You can contact me at deecie1@gmail.com....Thanks!
