Star Gooseberry
The Star Gooseberry (Phyllanthus acidus) is a compact tropical fruit tree that typically grows 2–5 meters tall with a spreading canopy around 1.5–4 meters wide, making it well suited to home gardens and smaller landscapes. It thrives in full sun to partial shade, prefers warm frost-free climates with well-drained fertile soil, and benefits from moderate watering during dry periods while remaining relatively low maintenance once established. Known for its clusters of pale yellow ribbed fruits with a crisp tangy flavor, Phyllanthus acidus usually begins fruiting 2–3 years after planting, and occasional pruning helps maintain a healthy shape and encourage productive growth.
Supplied in a 4-5Ltr/165mm pot.
