A sweet, tangy greenish-yellow fruit from Indo-China. Most homes in the Osa Peninsula have a Carambola tree in their homes, as it fruits all year long.
A Carambola tree for you to see is located near the steps of cabin #3.
Introduced to the Americas on Columbus return voyage in 1493. The stalks are hand-cut and then sent on heavy rollers to get them squeezed (juice). The sugar industry wasn’t successful in the Osa Peninsula because the area lacked several economic components.
Produces a huge canopy of light, feathery leaves with 8-inch pods. Tamarind is the base for the world known “Worcestershire Sauce”. The pulp is used to make fresco, very refreshing and works as a natural laxative.
Is the famous relative to the anona. Endemic to warmer costal areas in Central America. Some fruits get to weight up to 20 pounds (check the ones near the pool!).
