The Fwang Tung is a Thai Carambola variety. It’s known to be a big producer, large with a perfect star-shape. Fwang Tung fruit is super sweet and definitely my FAVORITE variety.
The Starfruit produces gorgeous pink, purple, and white flowers from spring to autumn producing a bountiful crop. Can produce up to 3 times a year and be kept pruned small in a large pot if you like Balcony Gardens.
Sour unripe starfruits are known to have high oxalic acids and a potential problem for people with kidney issues. This is why we only sell sweet varieties. Be sure to trim off the ends and edges of the starfruit to reduce oxalic content and enjoy.
