Nursery contributed plant descriptions
Rare and hard-to-find, 'Dwarf Hawaiian' is a wonderful star fruit for containers since it produces an abundance of sweet, pale yellow fruit once it reaches 2' in height. The fruit is as large as any commercial variety and it has a high sugar content and delicious flavor even when grown inside in northern planting zones. As a potted specimen it can be maintained at 3-4' tall and does best in full sun and warm 70-80 °F day temperatures. The secret to producing delicious star fruits is warm temperatures and high light -- then prepare yourself to have fruit three seasons of the year. We are selling a grafted plant that will bloom and fruit sooner.
