Carambola, star fruit

I can't believe it. I planted this little carambola tree a couple of months ago and it's blooming like crazy and I found some small fruit already, for true! the damn trunk diameter is just about an inch. I am keeping it irrigated with drip and fed regularly so we will see if any of the fruit make it to maturity. I love star fruit, the small sweet ones that is. those big tart one are just good for garnish, IMHO. The wind out here can be quite drying and water is a premium so let's see what happens.
