My mom and I had flowers and fruit trees in the yard,
I always water it every morning and afternoon to keep it fresh.
Currently my fruit tree is only one tree that has grown its fruit is star fruit,
This star fruit is got 5 benefits :

Approximately 100 g of star fruit will give 34.7 mg or about 57% of vitamin C intake needed every day. In general, the benefits of fruits rich in vitamin C will help the human body develop resistance to infectious agents, free radicals and anti-inflammatory for the body.

The fruit along with the leather belimbing provide a supply of dietary fiber. Fiber helps prevent the absorption of LDL cholesterol in food in the gut. Fiber will also help protect the intestinal mucous membranes from exposure to toxic substances by binding to cancer-causing chemicals in the colon. The fiber content in starfruit makes digestion healthier and avoids the risk of colon cancer symptoms.
