The tree is lush and woody, with delicate lavender flowers that add to the tree's overall beauty. And the fruit itself enhances the overall exotic look.

    Carambola trees are budding.

    Just to give an update on my Carambola trees. I'm so happy to share that the trees are budding and looking good. I can't wait to put them in the ground once the weather starts to warm up. I ordered another tree from this company and will order more. Thanks again FGT. Highly recommended!

    Starfruit tree

    This is my favorite fruit tree. This tree arrived safe and looked healthy with leaves coming out from all the branches. However, within a week, it lost all its leaves and making me very anxious because it’s supposed to be an ever green one. I’ve replanted it and keeping it in a sunny location. I hope it revives back soon.

    Love my Starfruit "Carambola" trees.

    I received my trees although they've lost their leaves, which is expected due to stressed from the shipment. As this moment, they're budding out, so I'm very happy😊 Carambola are tough tropical trees. They're so tall and I can't wait to see them fruiting soon. Thank you FGT staff. Vanessa, your staff provide me an excellent customer service, so I want to thank her the whole FGT team for an awesome customer service. Highly recommended!
