Carambola from seed
Has anyone any experience of growing carmabola from seed. I am curious if they take that much longer to bear fruit. And if i should just buy a treeling.
We already have one carambola here but its one of those that doesn't bear fruit. Probably only through lack of tlc. I got a big bunch of rotten fruit from one of my neighbours. I thought i might try to plant from those. His fruit are huge.
might as well try
my friend grows all his from seed
and makes wine from them
and the ones in the shops look seed grown too
i havent got any atm
but i have Bilimbi, a close relative
hi sun burn, carambola does not come true to type from seed , you may end up with sour, bland or nice
buy a tree that is tagged as a known variety, some can have a hint of watermelon, passionfruit , apple or many other of the named selections , had a tree fruiting within three years on very fertile soil and ample water ,
