Re: Star Fruit plant source?
Nursery owners are hesitant to carry Star Fruit for good reasons:
1. A significant portion of individuals - particularly of European ancestry, are genetically prone to liver and kidney disorders at mature age. This is still hard to predict with present medical technology.
2. Another fraction of society are also prone to liver and kidney later in life due to environmental and lifestyle factors.
3. Star fruit leaves deposits in both of these organs which can greatly exacerbate the condition later in life.
4. For persons currently with liver or kidney disorders, eating the fruit can be fatal.
