Star apple tree
can grow to heights of 20-80 ft. It is a beautiful tree with glossy leaves that have a
silky golden color on the underside. It's firm glossy green leaves are two inches wide and
5 to seven inches long.
|
Star Apple gets its name from the star pattern that can be seen by slicing through the
fruit horizontally. The fruit has sweet clear light flesh that surrounds large black
seeds. While the skin is not edible, the fruit and seeds are both edible. The fruit tastes
very much like a cross between custard and an apple and can be used anywhere you would use
other fruit, or enjoyed raw, fresh from the tree.
|
The Star Apple produces a round, baseball sized
fruit that when cut has a core that takes on a star shape. There are two forms of Star
Apple, one producing a fruit with a deep purple skin, the other a light green skinned
fruit with clear-white pulp. These are the Emerald Star Apple with the light green
skinned variety with soft and sweet, clear pulp.
Although
originally from Central America, Star Apple tree
is grown throughout the tropics including the West Indies and Philippines. Star
Apple is also called Caimito throughout much of the world. A single tree can produce
hundreds of fruit. The star apple is a very popular fruit in many tropical parts of the
world. Fruit is ready to pick when gently squeezing you can feel the skin has lost a bit
of firmness.

susceptible to any kind of frost or cold wind.
Growing Environment: Trees need watering throughout the year.
Propagation: Either by seeds, which take 5-10 years to bear, or by grafting and budding,
with trees coming to bear in 2-4 years.

Payment
We
accept online payments only through PayPal, Cash payments are only acceptable for
in-person payments and cash-on-delivery (COD). Cash payment can not be sent through the
mail.
Please only one Paypal payment. SO THE COMBINED SHIPPING RULE WILL CAN
BE USED. Multiple paypal payments are NOT eligible for
discounts.
We will ship once a week - ON or BEFORE WEDNESDAYS, because
of the special stamps needed to ship plants and cuttings to you. This can only be
done at the Dept. of Agriculture. If payments are not met before that MONDAY, your
items will be shipped the following week and lose the combined discount opportunity.
Non-paying bidders may receive negative feedback and will be reported as an unpaid item to
eBay.
COMBINED
SHIPPING POLICY
INTERNATIONAL
SHIPPING is not included in this offer.
See
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING ON LIVE PLANTS
We will combine shipping for auctions won on the same week paid with same paypal payment.
This policy is good for all items bought and paid for in the week ending MONDAY.
Payment must be received
within 7 days of the auction ending.
Combined
Discounts Won Auctions
For 2-3 winning auctions, the combined discount is 10% of the total Shipping and Handling
charges. For 4-7 winning auctions, the combined discount is 20% of the total Shipping and
Handling charges. For 7+ winning auctions, the combined discount is 30% of the total
Shipping and Handling charges.
As each order is packed and prepared separately you will pay the quoted S/H charges
individually per item. If you buy the same species in that item it does calculate out the
discount (i.e.: additional item $3.61). My stores' combined shipping is built in for same
items rather than a varied selection. Includes postage, USDA certification and inspection,
proper packing and delivery to Airport for prompt delivery. I cant really change any
of these. If you want one of this and one of that, it gets hard to discount much as each
different species requires it's own prep & packing, then at USDA each has to be
unwrapped and inspected then repacked. USDA requires me to clean and prepare every last
piece before we drive them to the Inspection Station on the other side of the island. It
takes my wife and I, a day to pack items and get ready to ship. The whole next day we
drive around the island and get inspected (2-3 hours), then drive to the Airport Post
Office to drop off. It takes the same work with the same type item if you can understand.

Safe delivery is guaranteed and seeds lost or damaged during shipment will be replaced at
seller's expense. Claims must be made within 7 days of shipment. All other replacements,
refunds, returns and exchanges will be made at the sole discretion of the seller.
Seed is a live product which depends on many important related grower skills such
as proper planting time, seed depth, type of soil, irrigation, proper use of fertilizers,
weed controls, fungicides, insecticides, disease free soil, and reasonable weather
conditions during the growing period. Germination is affected by such factors as
temperature, moisture content, light intensity and contamination of planting media. These
factors are totally out of the seller's control and are the buyer's responsibility and
risk. Consequentially, the seller cannot unconditionally guarantee seed to perform
properly regardless of conditions or the buyer's methods or mistakes.
