The fruit is shaped like a small apple and when cut through its carpels form a starlike pattern. Its skin is green or purple, and its greenish pulp is soft, sweet, and somewhat milky. Though a popular fruit among residents of the tropics, northerners usually consider it rather flavorless. Wild star- apple trees are found in many regions, but their leaves are usually silvery rather than brown on the underside and their fruits are smaller, but edible. Another name i$ caimitQ.
