Tropical Fruit Discussion / My 'Sri Kembangan' carambola
« on: July 18, 2012, 03:20:00 PM »
Here's a small attempt to contribute something rather than just gleaning from everyone else's posts.
I have learned a great deal about tropical fruit growing from you all and would like to share what I have going on.
We only moved into our house in April 2011, so my plants are still small, but I will try to do a photo tour soon.
My Sri Kembangan carambola has been growing fast, as expected. This was planted from a 3-gallon about one year ago. It's now about 8-9 feet tall.
I find it to be quite an attractive tree, if pruned/managed. I have done some manual branch bending on this one to see if the branches would hang down, and it worked great. I ate one fruit from this tree last fall.
