Carambola, commonly known as Star Fruit for it’s crisp star-shaped fruit, is a fast-growing, heavy producing tropical fruit tree. The Kajang Variety is large and sweet.
Carambola produces prolific and gorgeous, pink, purple, and white flowers. These flowers stem off of woody branches, and bear a lot of fruit in the summer and fall. Carambola will bloom throughout most of the year, but prominently throughout May and September/October. The bright yellow to orange fruit is naturally waxy and each fruit is about 4-6″ long. Length and width varies slightly by cultivar. The flavor is similar to a sweet-tart blend of green apple, pear, grape, and citrus. In Florida, harvest season is generally from June through February, with peaks in fruit production during August through September, and December through February.
Star Fruit is easy to grow in a container and can thrive in a large pot. In the colder months they may loose their leaves, so they should be overwintered indoors if temperatures reach below freezing! Prune Carambola trees in late winter.

I was intrigued by the Star Fruit ‘Kajang’ and decided to give it a try. The fruit itself has a pleasant, slightly tangy taste that is quite refreshing. However, I found it to be a bit too sour for my liking when eaten raw. It does, however, work well in cooked dishes where the acidity can be balanced with other flavors. Overall, a decent product but might not be for everyone.
