Lara Star Fruit – Slightly Tart with Beautiful Flowers
The Lara star fruit variety is known for its slightly more tart flavor, making it a great choice for those who enjoy a bit of acidity in their fruit. It’s often compared to its sour relative, the Bilimbi, though it’s not as tart.
Standout Features:
• Container Suitability: Lara can be grown in a container, though it does best when given room to spread.
• Flowers: Striking pink-lavender flowers that add a beautiful touch to the tree, making it a decorative addition to any garden.
• Fruit Color: Pale yellow to golden when ripe.
• Taste: Slightly tart, making it ideal for those who prefer a less sweet star fruit.
• Sweetness Level: Moderately sweet, leaning toward tart.
• Special Feature: The subtle tartness of Lara star fruit makes it great for salads, cooking, or those who prefer a less sugary variety.
Care Tips: Lara thrives in full sun and well-drained soil. It can be pruned to maintain a smaller size, making it suitable for containers, but it does best when allowed to grow in a larger space.

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.
