It is a tropical fruit tree that grows best in warm zones without frost and freeze. Possibly originating from Central America, it grows well throughout the tropical West Indies, the Pacific and Southeast Asia, and even thrives in Hawaii and parts of Florida.
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.. . . . .364011233997!]0000000000000009783314145856!]
