In the picture is the big number of star fruits that were destroyed by the insects and the birds. They are 88 in all that I picked from the tree and also from the ground. When the rain comes the insects are having a heyday and I have not thought of a solution. But next month maybe there will be a good harvest.

What a shame! Not even putting a mosquito net over the tree would keep out tiny insects, would it?

The net may ruin the tree. I tried covering the fruits but it fell after a few days. It needs sunlight, I guess.

You can always bury the ruined fruits and let nature do the rest - you have your own organic fertilizer.

Your tree looks very productive that they produced that many though many are wasted. What do you plan on it. Are you eating all of the good ones? Its sad that it is not that popular fruit nowadays and its hard to find those fruit around.

You might be surprised to know that it is just a small tree.

What a pity. They are nice fruits containing lots of vitamin.

Hopefully after the rainy season there will be no more insects.
