The Arkin variety is the most widely grown commercial star fruit in the U.S., thanks to its balanced sweet-tart flavor and reliable production. It’s a medium-sized tree that can be managed in large containers with proper care.
Standout Features:
• Container Suitability: Can be grown in a large container, but will need regular pruning to control size.
• Flowers: Small, pink-lavender flowers that add subtle beauty to the tree before fruiting.
• Fruit Color: Golden yellow when ripe, often with a slightly orange hue at peak ripeness.
• Taste: Balanced between sweet and tart, making it versatile for both fresh eating and culinary uses.
• Sweetness Level: Moderately sweet with a hint of tartness.
• Special Feature: Its balanced flavor and popularity as a commercial variety make Arkin ideal for those seeking a reliable, all-purpose star fruit.
Care Tips: Arkin thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. When grown in containers, it needs frequent watering and occasional fertilization to maintain healthy fruit production.

Winter Shipping Advisory
Cold Weather Alert: Tropical trees are highly sensitive to cold temperatures. During colder months, our greenhouses maintain warm, optimal conditions for growth, which makes plants more vulnerable to cold damage during shipping.
Recommendations: If temperatures along the shipping route are below 40°F, we recommend holding your order until it’s safe to ship. We will notify you if a delay is necessary.
No Freeze Warranty: We do not guarantee plants shipped during freezing conditions. Shipping in cold weather is at the buyer’s discretion and risk.
Shipping Schedule
Local (In-State) Shipments: Orders ship Monday through Wednesday to ensure delivery before the weekend. Most locations within the state receive deliveries in 1 to 2 days.
Out-of-State Shipments: Orders ship primarily on Monday and Tuesday to avoid weekend delays.
