Star fruit can be good or rather boring. It loses flavour quickly when stored for too long. Which goes to show, fresh is best.
What appeals to me is actually the tree itself. If you like playing with venus fly traps, then you’ll sure to have fun with this particular plant. When young, the branches actually bend down and sleep when touched. The foliage is also sensitive and remains that way as it gets older.
I once had this as a pet plant when I was younger and got much enjoyment out of it until one winter it died. I was either being selfish or too caring. I loved it so much that I kept it in my room all season long, depriving it of sunlight and gave it too much water. That was then, so now I’ve learnt my lesson and to always put your plants first and love them the right way. But I still spoil them with organic fertilizer every now and then
