This video was very helpful. Because this summer I had a Excalibur purple variety. In full sun. It was getting scorched. So I moved it under a pine tree habitat and it is pushing new growth
“Mean like star apple” is a phrase used commonly in Jamaica, because the fruit will not fall off the tree, no matter how ripe or rotten it gets. So unlike other fruits that may fall from the tree even before it ripens, the star apple tree is “mean”.
I just planted a three foot seedling and it started to dry out. It had started to put out new leaves, but from your video I realize it's very windy and probably why it's dying. I'm gonna move it immediately and try to save it. Thanks!
RIP my grafted purple caimitos and my Miami soursop. Well I'm gonna try a seedling trees and if that don't work either, then I guess it's more room for more mangos. Lol every disappointment is a blessing. Now we have 2 more vacancy for my too many plants.
I planted mine in the ground 2019 , blossomed every since 2020 and new fruits. It drops leaves every Winter as well. I am removing this tree in the fall and planting a Mango. I am in Central fl zone 9b
I have a star apple tree every single time it blossoms never bear fruits not sure why what can I do to change that and I am 2 hours north of Miami any advise
I am from the island of Jamaica, and I am sure that most of the Star apple trees there are grown from seeds and all of them that I eat taste wonderful.
I planted mine too far under a tree. It's in the shade, and it isn't growing very well, but instead of moving it I think I am going to prune back the tree over it to give it more light. T
@@FruitfulTrees the guy in the video responded to your question about which trees fruit year round. He said you can induce longans to bloom & hence fruit also carambola so i want to know what methods he uses to induce the trees to bloom & hence fruit several times a year. He said you can prune a guava you effectively fruit almost year round. So what other methods can be used to promote fruiting or induce it to come into fruiting season earlier than normal?
@@geriannroth449 oh yes, check online for how to exactly do that. You can try to contact him but he is very busy. His contact information is in the description. If I remember next time I am with him I'll ask. Let me know what you find out. Thank you
@@FruitfulTrees ok np here in Barbados we boost them with i think potassium nitrate when they are flowering some people scar the bark i think its called cinturing.

Always some of the best information out there
I can't wait until mine produce fruit. I did a video on tasting it for the first time since I was in Vietnam. Ph the memories...Over 30 years ago.

Why would u do that
No!please.
Good for you
Did you get mature ripe fruits from it?
Great video. Thanks for the info.
Hi,are the roots invasive,I have a spot 8 feet from my house,it that ok
I’m in a desert like climate during summer months and 40-50ish during winter. Will it be fruitful?
I wonder how well star apple could be done in espallier. Looks like it can work well given its growing environmental restrictions.
BEAUTIFUL FRUIT STAR APPLE
I have a star apple tree every single time it blossoms never bear fruits not sure why what can I do to change that and I am 2 hours north of Miami any advise
You need 2 trees in most varieties.
If you grow from seed, will the fruit taste good? And can it be kept in a 15 gallon pot.
yes it should taste good but you never know what you will get with a seedling. a 15 gallon pot for a while but will need to upgrade it at some point
I am from the island of Jamaica, and I am sure that most of the Star apple trees there are grown from seeds and all of them that I eat taste wonderful.
Are the caimito roots aggressive? Will they destroy pipes and house foundations?
not sure about the roots check with Julian at Larafarmsmiami.com
I’m filipino I really loved the fruit
G'day mate, what is you favourite star apple. Do you prefer the green or purple type. Cheers greg
I loved all the ones at Lara Farms. See the video I did on it. He is 5 that were amazing.
Awesome 👏🏻 video
Star apple trees also grow in Suriname. The fruits are delicious.
This is my kinda Television

i heard that you need two trees to cross pollinate unless some of your neighbors has one, that is why i haven't planted mine..
How do you induce fruit on a Carambola or longan?
what do you mean?

@@FruitfulTrees did you ever check out the channel Frutopia? He is in Austrailia
Very nice 👍👍
We have a star apple three in out yard in Jamaica 🇯🇲at the side off our house 🏠 not in the opening 😑
Does it still get sun?,should we avoid too much sun?
Are the roots invasive?
Thank you 😊
I need a green peel Starapple plant.
Do you sell all of those fruits
you can buy them at www.larafarmsmiami.com
The latex, just rinses off?
Good thing the scaring doesn’t affect the fruit at all 😅
Isn't the hipolito greenish with white flesh. The one he opened was purple with lots of latex.
How are these plants induced for 2 or more harvests?
Why don’t he build wind protection???????
Hello, my seeds never grow!
The only problem you will get from eating the latex are very sticky lips. That thing is hard to get off.
some don't have latex
@@FruitfulTrees I would love to eat that one, as long as it's as sweet as the ones that I am use to.
Wow I have been looking for caimito for years , I thought it was extinct , as a child the fruit failed and we just ate it
In Viet Nam you can see this fruit everywhere. It is called "vú sữa".
well actually i think its doing fine i think i see some new growth appearing on my avocado tree
Whats the naturally shortest mango you now have or have seen man?
pickering
@@FruitfulTrees Thanks!
Where’s can I buy those tree ? Will you send me the phone or how to buy it please

Thanks now I can just find where you are and jump the fence and eat some fruit just don't shoot me 😢
Where are you located I want to buy some of your fruit send me your address
Shalom ♥️🙏🏻

Caimito is a very mediocre fruit ;we had them in Cuba ,massive massive trees ;not a great fruit ;plant a mango or sugar apple
You just didn't get a good one. I've tasted some not too sweet but when you get a good one it is amazing
@@FruitfulTrees i agree, is an amazing fruit
😮
