Growing CARAMBOLA (star fruit) Time Lapse

[@davidbenner2289]

I had my first taste of star fruit about 65 years ago. I remember the place, time, weather, etc. I was on the Saipan Island in the Marianas, western Pacific Ocean.

[@arnoldmmbb]

So cool!! Why you were there?

[@davidbenner2289]

@@arnoldmmbb I was a little kid, growing up. Dear old dad was the medical officer for a community of trainers teaching spy craft and gurilla warfare to East Asian troops. In short, it was a secret base of operations and training.

[@hasheemplayzgaming999]

That's cool! How old are you?

[@davidbenner2289]

@@hasheemplayzgaming999 I remember Eisenhower but was too young to remember Truman. As I was safely with my mother in Japan my father was off fighting Communist Chinese in Korea and further north during the Korean War. You'll have to guess my age. I'm old. A mid strata of dirt is named after me. That old.

[@rubberbandba11craft]

STARFRUIT being in the wood sorrel family has the capability of rapid plant movement. (can close its leaves when disturbed)

[@fabiopisati5637]

Cool, does it have like fibers in its leaves that retract on touch? Also why is closing the leaves useful?

[@InOderToWin]

no... They dont close there leaves when touch...but they close leaves at night

[@rubberbandba11craft]

did you grow a starfruit tree from seed? the touch sensitivity is there, but really low

119 days time lapse. Not an easy task. It was splendid treat to our eyes.

[@ascendingdeity]

i love starfruit ⭐️ but it isn’t native in my area so always a treat when i get my hands on it. what an amazing plant 🌱

[@Krista2882]

the leaves are so pretty

[@mr.v3061]

love this! I'm currently growing one too! But keep in mind, if you want fruit from it, you'll have to prune it now. That makes the trunk stronger and will force it to branch out :)

[@sharaudramey9336]

Can you explain more about pruning starfruit. I have some I grew from seed that I believe are growing slow!

[@mr.v3061]

@@sharaudramey9336 hey there :) I'm from Belgium so our climate is not ideal for it. But this video gives the plant THE MOST PERFECT condition to grow. 24/7 light, heat and water. So, this is very unrealistic for yours and mine. My seedlings grew much slower too. They grow best and fastest in spring / summer. Personally, for the first year i did not put them outside to also protect them from rain/wind/sun damage. They actually don't like wind. The second year you can try to put them outside in a place that gets sun, but try against a wall/area protected from some heavy wind. Pruning? Well, my seedlings grew straight up without branching out. They can grow as tall as a person without branching out, so that's a problem. So, check out the 90 days size of the plant. That's where i would prune the top 3 leaves. It will then branch out and make a stronger trunk. After you got 2 or 3 sidebranches with a decent size, also prune those ones to force out more. The goal is to make a strong base. I also lost some seedlings when i was experimenting. I've put them in a protected place in a garden house, but they died during the winter. i hope this was helpful :)

[@mr.v3061]

@@sharaudramey9336 i checked out some vids on your channel and your tropical jungle garden is probably a great place for a starfruit. - i also keep mine in pots. Maybe if you live in a place with no freezing temperatures that you can put them in ground once they're older.

Before you plant a seed, do you usually check how the seed should be planted?

[@ChicJam939]

Сам по себе фрукт не самый вкусный,на вкус как недозревшее яблоко.Но может нам такие приезжают в Россию.И деревья из них классные получаются.Я в первый раз посадил карамболлу в 2019,потом в 2021.Вот сейчас у меня на подоконике живут две,и потихоньку растут.Мне что нравится в них,они постоянно опускают листья на ночь,или когда дует ветер,или льет вода из лейки.К сожалению опыта у меня мало,а пишут в интернете про них еще меньше.Поэтому растем как можем.Сейчас они приняли плакучую форму,и сбросили часть листьев,но новые ветки пошли.Ему еще мешает окно,и у меня восточная часть,окна на восток выходят.Раньше мы росли там где были южные окна,и там им было хорошо круглый год.Но весной надо было их убирать,от солнца,или будут ожоги на листьях.Потом мы переехали в ноябре,и живем в новом доме.Вообщем выращивайте не бойтесь,они того стоят,и они классные деревья😊

[@northascrowsfly]

Seed harvesting tip: instead of cutting through the fruit to make a star, cut the ridges off, first. In other words, cut them off the long way, but not too deep. Then... ...you can start biting small bits off the end like you're eating a cucumber. You'll either notice the seed in the fruit, or you'll feel them in your mouth if you squish the soft fruit with your tongue.

What kind of soil is that ?

[@crazyjoep2344]

Tried growing them in Holland, got them pretty big (30 cm) but then they all died because the lack of light in wintertime. So unless you live in a hotter climate without frost its a waste of time :( Heard they get pretty big too so you can't keep em indoors even if you wanted too

they dont need wintertime though they come from tropical parts of the world
