I have the following doubts about this being Averrhoa Carambola, Piali:
1. Averrhoa Carambola is usually found in warmer areas, whereas this spotting was taken at a cold place.
2. Averrhoa Carambola is a tree whereas this one was a small plant.
3. The fruit of Averrhoa Carambola is hanging and is sharp at the end whereas this was growing on a stem from below and the end is blunt.
Will need help of some experts here.
