Growing Startfruit (Carambola) from seeds

This is a video of my Starfruit (Carambola) tree that I started from seeds. It's about a month old now. I started them by simply putting the seed in the container with soil, water it and watch it grow.

Ive never tasted a starfruit before do I bought my starfruit seeds last week. Does it take many years before it grows fruit?

[MyInspiredCreation]

@ShiaNaturesFearie Yes, they do take at least 3-4 years to be mature and fruit. The idea of growing one is really fun! :)

but these star fruits that are planted through seeds might not be pleasant tasting.

@FUNNY1239060 You are right, there's a good chance that the fruit will be not as sweet as the fruit it came out of. There's also a chance that it could be sweeter ^^. Nature is a funny thing. :)

I will try it! Thanks! And by the way, I much rather a cookie than a weird fruit lol but you inspired me to try it and it is healthier than a cookie anyways :)

@Incredibleisaac2 Nothing special. Just planted it half an inch in dirt, watered and placed it where it's getting the morning sunlight, but not the afternoon sun.

Hi Jane! Did you do anything special to the seed?
