Description: Averrhoa carambola is a species of tree in the family Oxalidaceae, native to tropical Southeast Asia; it has a number of common names, including carambola, star fruit and five-corner. It is a small tree or shrub that grows 5 to 12 m (16 to 39 ft) tall, with rose to red-purple flowers. The lush green foliage which mimics the unique shape of the fruit helps camouflage the young green fruits from scavengers! The Star Fruit Tree will make a standout addition to any collection. Not only is this tree visually appealing, but the succulent fruit is sweet and refreshing, known as a good source of potassium. Carambola is also rich in antioxidants and vitamin C; and low in sugar, sodium, and acid. Famous as a potent source of both primary and secondary polyphenolic antioxidants, make sure to add this tropical treasure to your collection today!
