Are these starfruit seedlings?

I just noticed these growing beneath my neighbor's starfruit tree:
I think they kind of look like starfruit trees, and the seed that's still attached to one of them kind of has the same dimensions as a starfruit seed. What do you think?

Sorry. Those are not starfruit seedlings (carambola).

Nope, starfruit leaves don't have serrated edges, like in your photo.

Too bad. I was hoping that would save me the work of trying to get seeds to germinate... Thanks for saving me the work of tending for weeds.

starfruit seeds are small. You can see the larger seeds on the sprouts you pulled up. Looks like little oak seedlings to me

When I'd gone to plant the weeds, I noticed something sprouting the the pot I planted starfruit seeds in. Fingers crosssed this one actually is a starfruit seedling.

That looks more likely to be starfruit as the embryo is same shape as is the seed, kind of a crescent shape.

That seedling is growing pretty good now, and there's another one too. I'm pretty sure these are starfruit seedlings. What do you think?
