Star Fruit Variety?

[John Travis]

I bought this labeled as Fwang Tung and I guess I was expecting the curves along the ridges which never came on any of the fruit. The fruit were also longer and more boxy than I expected. The fruit tasted pretty good, sweet, just a bit of acidity. It's balanced and I could continue to eat them, but it did not blow me away, but hey, it's a starfruit and I'm grateful for fresh fruit this time of year!

In any case I was hoping someone could shed some light on what the variety might actually be. Thanks for the help!

Looks like Sri Kembagan- at least what I've been getting from my labelled tree. FT ridges are usually thick as well.

Forget the shape for it to be a Fwang Tung.  The second is showed any of that orange color, no Fwang Tung.  From what I can see in the picture, wrong shape for SK.  From the shape a description I would lead towards Bell.  Dis it have an orangey/citrusey flavor?

It may have slight citrus notes, but they were minimal. I may have picked them too early as I was expecting a white variety and when they showed more orange color I thought they were well past the ripe stage. I guess next year I'll try again and leave them on until one falls on it's own.

Doesn't look at all like the SK's from my tree.
