The Carambola / Star fruit is a small, bushy evergreen tree that grows very well under hot, humid, tropical conditions but can also be grown in other climates as well. The plant bears small lilac color, bell-shaped flowers in clusters, which subsequently develop into oblong shaped fruits with characteristic five angled edges (sides or ribs) that when cut up look like perfect star shapes.
