Опис
Plant in well-drained, fertile soil in full sun; carambola is sensitive to flooding and cold below 27°F even briefly, limiting outdoor cultivation to frost-free zones. The tree blooms multiple times per year and produces fruits along the trunk and main branches — a trait called cauliflory — so hang fruit-protection bags in commercial settings to prevent blemishes. Harvest when the ribs have turned fully yellow and the fruit has slight give; overripe fruit browns quickly at the tips. Fertilize with a balanced citrus-type fertilizer 3–4 times per year to sustain heavy bearing.
