PROMOTION
OF FRUIT BLIMBING WULUH
The bilimbi, Averrhoa bilimbi, L.,
(Oxalidaceae), is closely allied to the carambola but quite different in
appearance, manner of fruiting, flavor and uses. The only strictly English
names are "cucumber tree" and "tree sorrel", bestowed by
the British in colonial times. "Bilimbi" is the common name in India
and has become widely used. In Malaya, it is called belimbing asam,
belimbing buloh, b'ling, or billing-billing. In Indonesia, it is belimbing
besu, balimbing, blimbing, or blimbing wuluh; in Thailand, it is taling
pling, or kaling pring.
In Haiti, it is called blimblin; in
Jamaica, bimbling plum; in Cuba, it is grosella china; in El
Salvador and Nicaragua, mimbro; in Costa Rica, mimbro or tiriguro;
in Venezuela, vinagrillo; in Surinam and Guyana, birambi; in
Argentina, pepino de Indias. To the French it is carambolier bilimbi,
or cornichon des Indes. Filipinos generally call it kamias but
there are about a dozen other native names.
The tree is attractive, long-lived,
reaches 16 to 33 ft (5-10 m) in height; has a short trunk soon dividing into a
number of upright branches. The leaves, very similar to those of the Otaheite
gooseberry and mainly clustered at the branch tips, are alternate,
imparipirmate; 12 to 24 in (30-60 cm) long, with 11 to 37 alternate or
subopposite leaflets, ovate or oblong, with rounded base and pointed tip;
downy; medium-green on the upper surface, pale on the underside; 3/4 to 4 in
(2-10 cm) long, 1/2 to 1 1/8 in (1.2-1.25 cm) wide.
Small, fragrant, 5-petalled flowers,
yellowish-green or purplish marked with dark-purple, are borne in small, hairy
panicles emerging directly from the trunk and oldest, thickest branches and
some twigs, as do the clusters of curious fruits. The bilimbi is ellipsoid,
obovoid or nearly cylindrical, faintly 5-sided, 1 1/2 to 4 in (4-10 cm) long;
capped by a thin, star-shaped calyx at the stem-end and tipped with 5 hair-like
floral remnants at the apex. The fruit is crisp when unripe, turns from
bright-green to yellowish-green, ivory or nearly white when ripe and falls to
the ground. The outer skin is glossy, very thin, soft and tender, and the flesh
green, jelly-like, juicy and extremely acid. There may be a few (perhaps 6 or
7) flattened, disc-like seeds about 1/4 in (6 mm) wide, smooth and brown.
