Caimito trees are medium to large trees, 25 to 100 ft tall (7.9 to 30.5 m) with a round to oval canopy. Branches have a weeping growth habit. The leaves are alternate, elliptic, 2 to 6 inches long (5–15 cm), slightly leathery, shiny green on the upper surface and golden-brown on the lower surface.
Star Apple should be grown in full sun or partial shade on fertile, well-drained soils. Plants should be mulched beneath the canopy and watered regularly until established, then they can withstand occasional drought.
They may be seedling, grafted or air-layered. Seedlings take 5-10 yrs to fruit, grafted or air-layered will fruit in 1-2 years. Both the Haitian Star & the Blanco Star are self pollinating varieties.. . . . .364011233880!]0000000000000009783314144775!]
