Star Apple (Chrysophyllum cainito)

*The Air Layered Plant is from a well established Reddish Colour Star Apple grown in NZ. 

The star apple, cloaked in hues of regal purple or deep forest green, beckons with its mysterious allure. But its true beauty lies within. Slice it open, and nature's artistry is unveiled: a starburst pattern of delicate, milky-white flesh, each segment promising a burst of ambrosial sweetness. The taste is an enchanting dance of apple, grape, and lychee - a symphony of tropical flavors that melt on the tongue, reminiscent of creamy custard. Beyond its exquisite taste, this Caribbean gem is a treasure trove of nutrients, packed with vitamins, fiber, and antioxidants.

Caring for the Star Apple Tree:

1. Location:Choose a sunny spot for your star apple tree, as it thrives with ample sunlight. However, young trees may require some shade protection.

2. Soil:It prefers well-draining soil, slightly on the acidic side. Regularly enrich the soil with organic compost to ensure optimal growth.

3. Watering:While the tree is drought-tolerant once established, regular watering will ensure a healthy yield. It's crucial to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged.

4. Fertilisation:Feed the tree with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer, rich in essential minerals, especially during its growing phase.

5. Pruning:Regularly prune to maintain an open canopy, which encourages better air circulation and sunlight penetration.

6. Pests & Diseases:Regularly check for pests like aphids and caterpillars. Implement organic pest control methods if necessary.
