The carambola is appropriately nick named star fruit for it's five golden wings that reveal a star-shaped pattern when cut crosswise. The juicy transparent flesh has a citrus quality with a floral accent and is delicious eaten fresh, made into juice or into a delicious chutney. The tree makes an ideal specimen plant due to its attractive foliage and has the added bonus of producing large quantities of fruit. Carambolas are best grown in frost free subtropical climate. They can withstand light frost when established. They generally have two crops a year, one in summer and the second crop in winter. With pruning at different times of the year they can be induced to crop from summer to winter. A very attractive fruiting tree, well worth having in the backyard. Cut into cross sections the fruits make attractive garnishes for sweet and savory dishes particularly seafood dishes. A relish can be made from unripe fruits by combining horseradish, celery, vinegar, seasonings and spices.

Carambola Star Fruit

The comment regarding oxalic acid - this incorrect. There is oxalic acid in the leaves (which are used as traditional medicines) not the fruit. See the paper https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0102695X18302850#tbl0005Like rhubarb.

Used to grow carambola in Darwin, NT. Won 1st prizes at Darwin Show. My tip is to cut tips of star off before eating. Cut into stars and put on pavlovas.

Carambola Star Fruit

With this fruit you can either eat it raw, if you like the taste as is. Or you can make salad out of it. Or you can use it as a semi dried fruit candied .

Can I grow star fruit at home?

Growing Star Fruit Indoors To flourish indoors, potted star fruits need well-drained, loamy soil (Fafard® Natural & Organic Potting Mix) with a slightly acid pH (5.5-6.5) and regular fertilizer for acid-loving fruit trees. Provide them with lots of sunshine and enough water to keep the pots just moist.

How long does it take for a star fruit tree to produce fruit?

After you care for it through its first year, you can expect fruit in either year 2 or 3. Home-grown star fruit trees that are protected from high wind can often be harvested within 10-14 months of planting provided that they're 2 years or older.

When can you buy star fruit?

You can also buy star fruit when it's green and wait for it to ripen—just leave it on your counter for a few days. When over-ripe, star fruit turns entirely yellow and starts to have brown spots all over.

Where do you get star fruit?

It is believed the star fruit originated in either Sri Lanka or the Moluccas, the islands of Indonesia. It spread throughout Asia and has been cultivated there for centuries. Star fruit is commonly grown in southern China, India, and the Philippines. The fruit is relatively new to North and South America.
