Noel, bilimbi is a relative of the starfruit, but they are more cucumber in shape, same crunchiness, but lemon tart. They do still have a star pattern in the seeds inside.
They grow in clusters right off the trunk & older branches. Used a lot in Filipino dishes & curry pickles & such (much like mango pickles....I think...)
