Arkin star fruit

When the plant was shipped the leaves were yellow and I was concerned. But I think the box just got too hot during shipment because it's green and healthy. 2 weeks later I got i green leaves, new growth and recently started to flower. Everglades farms is officially my go to for tropical plants.
