Golden Star is a carambola cultivar that was developed at the Tropical Research and Education Center of the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station (FAES), an agricultural research program of the University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences.
The cultivar was released from the FAES in 1965.
The Golden Star carambola is now used as a main source of rootstocks for high-pH, calcareous soils.
Famous quotes containing the words golden and/or star:
“Heaven has a Sea of Glass on which angels go sliding every afternoon. There are many golden streets, but the principal thoroughfares are Amen Street and Hallelujah Avenue, which intersect in front of the Throne. These streets play tunes when walked on, and all shoes have songs in them.”
—For the State of Florida, U.S. public relief program (1935-1943)
“It’s better to star in Oshkosh than to starve on Broadway.”
—James Gleason (1886–1959)
