Good tips. We have one here im Melbourne, Australia. Zone 4 or equivalent to zone 10. I didnt know they fruited during winter. Interesting. I plan to move its pot from full sun, to the morning/midday spot because i am finding the arvo sun way too strong (due to ozone hole, our summer sun is brutal.) But had thought id pop it in a hole. I must admit i leave it unprotected during winter, -1C to -2C doesnt bother it much at all. We get those temps 4 or 5 times, most of the time our winter nights are 5C lol

@TheChenny73 Жыл бұрын
I live west of Ocala in Dunnellon Florida. You can’t grow Starfruit without protection. It will survive mid twenties with small twig die back. Low twenties will kill major trunks of the tree. Also, the tree is extremely slow to recover from winter damage because they don’t grow until temp averages get into 60s. I’ve learned this from experience. Can you do it. Yes. But you need to prune to keep it small, cover with a teepee greenhouse and hang lights on it. Will it survive on its own? Perhaps for a few years until you get low 20s.
@TheChenny73 Жыл бұрын
That being said you can’t have a more beautiful tree in your garden. The pink flowers are amazing and the tree has a graceful look to it. A non fruiting tree that is similar in beauty and stature is the Weeping Bottle Brush (not the standard form).

My carambola tree loses all its leaves at least once annually; it looks like it's about to die, but so far has always come back. Does anyone have any experience with this, or suggestions? I planted it from a seed from the island of Grenada six years ago; it's outside my apt in urban São Paulo in a big ceramic planter.

@@qctropicals The weather here in São Paulo Brazil is similar to that of Florida: winters are cool, but never go below freezing/0ºC. It's spring now, and my carambola has lost all of it's leaves. It's fine branches are all dry and dead, but the larger branches remain green under the bark. It seem's like it simply lacks water, which is hard to believe since I water it at least once daily, and it's in a painted ceramic pot that doesn't breathe too much. ...Makes me wonder if I don't have a case of root rot, and too much water.

I have 5 trees under one year age, and I have treated them same way as any other houseplant. They are dropping lowest leaves and branches. Today I learned I'm watering way too little. They almost died when I was away for one weekend and didn't water them before I left. And I thought ficus was a drama queen!
