Star Fruit ‘Arkin’ (Averrhoa carambola hybrid)

A wonderful carambola that produces an abundance of medium-sized yellow fruit that turn orange when ripe. Star Fruit ‘Arkin’ starts producing at 3-4’ tall when grown in full sun and warm temperatures, between 70-80°F. It has the typical star fruit shape when sliced open, and the delicious fruit is crisp, juicy and without fiber. Mature trees will produce two or three times a year, and Star Fruit ‘Arkin’ is one of the sweetest carambolas in cultivation. It can be maintained at a desirable height by pruning. This is a grafted plant that blooms and fruits sooner.
