This exciting yellow fruit is shaped just like a star when sliced! We carry hybrid varieties that are of excellent quality and are very sweet. They are best eaten fresh. They are also great in jams and as a fruit beverage. A mature starfruit can produce up to 200 lbs. of fruit a year! The attractive, fast growing tree prefers partial to full sun and loves moisture. The tree produces within 2 years (7 gallon sized, within 1 year). All Starfruit are grafted on their own rootstock. Trees will grow to about 35 feet in 20 years. Fwang Tung is crunchy like an apple, large fruited (to 6 inches tall and 4 inches wide). It is semi-sweet and pleasantly mild tasting. Fruits ripen greenish to faintly yellow.
