Bilimbi/Kamias (Averrhoa bilimbi)

One of my favorite fruit used as a souring agent is the Bilimbi (Averrhoa bilimbi), locally known as Kamias. It is believed to be originally native to the Maluku Islands of Indonesia but has naturalized and is common throughout Southeast Asia. 

This specimen started bearing fruit last year (2023). Outplanted during the summer — COVID lockdown days of 2020. 💕🌱
