Star Fruit progression....
We have one star fruit almost ready to pick, three newer ones on the same branch and another crop of flowers getting ready to grow some more...

Looks interesting. Never heard about a star fruit. Is it sweet? Looks lilke bell pepper.
another name is the Carambola... the fruit looks like a star when cut crosswise... it is kinda sweet-sour in a citrusy kind of way... great in fruit salads or eaten in slices with a mild cheese like muenster... you eat it all, you don't have to peel it...
yum, my fav tropical fruit! in the Cook Islands that fruit is called raparapa (looks like a rubber, as in an eraser, hence that name). grows wild there and is delicious. to me, a cross between a nashi / asian pear and an orange.
take care: not to be eaten by people with any form of kidney disease. refer Dr Google.
Thanks Ian.... I can never quite describe the taste of a star fruit... I just know I love them also!!! And I LOVE Asian pears also!!
