Caimito, also known as Star Apple, is a tropical fruit tree known for its sweet, star-shaped fruit and attractive, glossy leaves. The fruit has a purple skin and a juicy, creamy pulp that is white and purple. When sliced, the star-shaped pattern of the seeds is revealed, giving the fruit its common name. The flesh is sweet and milky, often eaten fresh or used in desserts.
Caimito is an evergreen tree that thrives in warm, tropical climates and grows best in well-drained, fertile soils. The tree has thick, leathery leaves with a green upper side and a coppery, golden-brown underside. In addition to being grown for its delicious fruit, the tree is also valued for its ornamental beauty.
