I have a seedling I haven't watered it for a day and the next day I saw it wilted and dead how much should I water it over here it's 90to 86 degrees in the winter and in the summer sometimes 105 to 90 degrees in the summer how much should I water it in the summer it's almost 119 degrees in the summer
This has been so helpful, thank you! I believe my seedling had been sunburned but this video has given me hope 😅🙏 I am based in New Zealand so this is an indoor plant for me until it is much larger
wind sensitive is so strange. My 2 ft plants just goes sick everytime I put it in the wind. Question is, will it do that same when it is big tree? Because we do get heavy winds here?
Hello, I was wondering if you have IABU tree. If you happen to know if I need to have more than one tree to get fruits? Or it is OK for one tree, since my property has many other fruits trees and bees.
Good tips. We have one here im Melbourne, Australia. Zone 4 or equivalent to zone 10. I didnt know they fruited during winter. Interesting. I plan to move its pot from full sun, to the morning/midday spot because i am finding the arvo sun way too strong (due to ozone hole, our summer sun is brutal.) But had thought id pop it in a hole. I must admit i leave it unprotected during winter, -1C to -2C doesnt bother it much at all. We get those temps 4 or 5 times, most of the time our winter nights are 5C lol
you're in homestead? awesome!. I would buy the smallest, cheapest tree I could find in your area. I will grow super fast in no time in your area. I need a point of contact in homestead, send me an email :)
I live in North Miami but was down in Homestead last weekend and saw plenty of nursery there. I saw one on 147ave called El arbolito nursery and saw they had lots of fruit trees might go there this weekend and see if they have any star fruit tree

My carambola tree loses all its leaves at least once annually; it looks like it's about to die, but so far has always come back. Does anyone have any experience with this, or suggestions? I planted it from a seed from the island of Grenada six years ago; it's outside my apt in urban São Paulo in a big ceramic planter.
@@qctropicals The weather here in São Paulo Brazil is similar to that of Florida: winters are cool, but never go below freezing/0ºC. It's spring now, and my carambola has lost all of it's leaves. It's fine branches are all dry and dead, but the larger branches remain green under the bark. It seem's like it simply lacks water, which is hard to believe since I water it at least once daily, and it's in a painted ceramic pot that doesn't breathe too much. ...Makes me wonder if I don't have a case of root rot, and too much water.
Im in nwfl, same zone. Mine survived winter in a greenhouse. I had 2, one died because it was in a shady part of the greenhouse, didnt get enough sun. But the one i had in a sunnier spot dropped its leaves, but survived.
I live west of Ocala in Dunnellon Florida. You can’t grow Starfruit without protection. It will survive mid twenties with small twig die back. Low twenties will kill major trunks of the tree. Also, the tree is extremely slow to recover from winter damage because they don’t grow until temp averages get into 60s. I’ve learned this from experience. Can you do it. Yes. But you need to prune to keep it small, cover with a teepee greenhouse and hang lights on it. Will it survive on its own? Perhaps for a few years until you get low 20s.
That being said you can’t have a more beautiful tree in your garden. The pink flowers are amazing and the tree has a graceful look to it. A non fruiting tree that is similar in beauty and stature is the Weeping Bottle Brush (not the standard form).
I have 5 trees under one year age, and I have treated them same way as any other houseplant. They are dropping lowest leaves and branches. Today I learned I'm watering way too little. They almost died when I was away for one weekend and didn't water them before I left. And I thought ficus was a drama queen!
@@Momoshi42 I was being sarcastic :). Treat your plants like you would yourself or your pets and you will be successful. Foliage drop means plant has suffered damage and that will set the plant back months.
@@sandybarringer9410 This is why I love making videos.... Go on my instagram, I actually have a video showing radiant heat in the 140's 6ft away from that star fruit "in the shade" nonetheless. Geez, I just don't talk out my rear like most people do. Probably reason you keep coming back :) .
@@qctropicals Actually, I checked in on this vid because it popped up as a suggestion, and was curious if you were still pimping the tump love shirt. Don't hide the trump love Alan, rock it baby!!
I went outside and noticed the tip of my starfruit had broken off think a branch and hit it. Will it be okay? Be like how nature would be? It's only about 10 months old, has new growth on the lower branches.?
