I have three Carambola. A Kari, Kajang, and a Bell.

I've never had more than one crop from any of them, but the late summer crop has always bee "fruitful" and I had plenty of fruit, enough to plan on selling and or trying to make into wine this year.

All three are healthy, and have developed nice dark green canopies about 12' high and 10' across with 3" thick trunks.

This year the Kari has bloomed like mad, no fruit had set so I took it upon myself to hand pollinate, and STILL the flowers fall off.

The Bell has had only a few blossoms, no fruit. The Kajang has bloomed and has three fruits on it. All the rest of the blooms have fallen off.

I REALLY like Carambola, as much as if not more than Mango. Can anyone suggest what could be my problem?
