Hello all friends, on this occasion I will share a photo of vegetable belimbing or also called belimbing wulung which I photographed behind my own house

Vegetable belimbing (also known as wuluh belimbing, reed belimbing, bottle belimbing, iron belimbing, or sour belimbing) (Averrhoa Bilimbi Linn) is a type of small tree that is estimated to come from the Maluku Islands, and is grown and grown freely in Indonesia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Malaysia. This plant is usually planted in the yard to take its fruit which has a sour taste which is often used as a cooking spice and a mixture of herbal ingredients.

Belimbing is a fruit tree that reaches a height of 5 meters, the trunk is not so big, with a 30 cm middle stripe. It is rough and bumpy, slightly branched, and tilted upwards. The young branches have smooth hairs, like a blade and are light brown in color. The leaves are arranged in a double shape. The shape is small, egg-shaped, and 21–45 cm in size. The leaves are compound, pinnate, and odd. The young leaves have short stems, oval to jorong shape, pointed tip, rounded base, flat edge. The leaf size is: 2-10 cm × 1–3 cm. It is green, and its lower surface is light green. On each leaf there are 11-37 leaves that are intermittent or half in pairs and oval in shape. The inflorescences are compound, and arranged in panicles (5–20 cm long). Grouped, coming out of large branches, small star-shaped and reddish purple or red only. The fruit is a buni fruit, round, oval, 4-6.5 cm long, yellowish green, juicy when ripe and sour. Egg-shaped seeds, round.

So because I like to see this beimbing fruiting, I took the initiative to photograph it, because I think it's very good and charming

So here are some photos of star fruit that I took myself using my phone camera
