 63/ Starfruit, Averrhoa carambola 

I shouldn’t be growing this bc my mom can’t eat it but someone gave the seeds as a 🎁 and really hyped their plant as having enormous fruit so I feel obligated. 

3yrs old. No fruit yet. It grows well. It’s sheltered from wind. I don’t water it much except if dry in summer. It will share its pot with small veg. Bring indoors when temps get near freezing. No major pests except desperate rats stripping all the leaves off in the garage last winter.
