Carambola flowering and fruiting on young grafted tree

Thought you all might be interested in the most extreme case of a lack of juvenility I've seen in a grafted plant -- a 'Fwang Tung' carambola, with a fruit less than an inch above the graft union, less than a year after grafting, and a second crop of flowers about a foot higher on the new stems. In a one-gallon pot in the Florida Southern College greenhouse.

That is pretty cool! But would't it be somewhat normal for the plants with cauliflory?

Jungle Yard, Yes, that's true; I've just never seen it happen that close to the graft union. So more "fun" than "amazing."
