The entire fruit is edible, including the slightly waxy skin. The flesh is crunchy, firm, and extremely juicy.
Carambola trees are planted at least 20 feet (6.1 m) from each other and typically are fertilized three times a year. The tree grows rapidly and typically produces fruit at four or five years of age.
Like the closely related bilimbi, there are two main types of carambola, the small sour (or tart) type and the larger sweet type.
The carambola is a tropical and subtropical fruit. It can be grown at up to 4,000 feet (1,200 m) in elevation. It prefers full sun exposure, but requires enough humidity and a total of 70 inches or more of rainfall a year. It does not have a soil type preference, but it requires good drainage.
