With all those fruit trees in your yard, you are very wealthy man!
Indeed, health is wealth!
Nice size fruits on that tree in the backyard. The Tamarillos look great as well. Thanks for sharing. We are about two months from mangoes coming in, here in south florida. Naseberries are just now coming in.
First time I am seeing this variety guava 😋👌🏼👍
Woa this guava, we don't have in Vietnam . Very beautiful your house and your garden.
Good video thanks for taking the time to post it!
Thanks for watching.
very good indeed
Thanks for sharing! I have two trees and can't wait for them to fruit this year😋
I have different varieties, they took 3-5 years to fruit. Best of luck.
@@RealLifeFruitopia I read that the tree needs the winter chill hours for optimal fruit production.
@@kinglucas9922 we have enough chill hours to meet all tree requirements
I love your delicious fruit garden as I love fruits from your own garden♥️🤤
Thanks!
In New Zealand feijoa is in a abundants they grow massive
Nice.
Yeah my auntie had some that look like trees with a thick trunk. Got to pay the cows we had over the years feeding them the fruit
I grew up in New Zealand and remember them from my childhood,
I’m now in Australia , very rarely hear of then here .
@@camwells9726 plenty in aus. bunnings sells them and most nursery. Pineapple guava they call them. Seen vids on yt some aussies have big trees
Thanks for sharing! By far my favorite childhood fruit.Your oldest tree did the fruit quality get better with age?
Yes it does!
Do you recommend fruit thinning? 🙏 thank you
Hi from USA Arizona , nice video . say hi to my sister she lives in Malborne.
Hello 👋
very nice feijoas!😃 I hope mine will bear fruit soon
Best of luck!
@@RealLifeFruitopia thanks!🌴☀️
Certainly looks like you've got more than one variety George as they seem to be maturing at different times, shame you don't know the names. I've got 3 named varieties here in the UK, Triumph, Mammoth and Gemini. I also have an unnamed ( probably seed grown ) variety that produces perfectly round fruit rather than elongated
So nice . Which variety tastes like South Asian variety?
Have you ever tried to thin the fruit on a heavy-setting year to see if it helps the tree produce more fruit in an off-year?
Good tip. Thanks.
I live in Jacksonville Florida and we have thia tree in our yard. I never knew it was edible or even the name! I thought they were harmful because it looks like the angel trumpet fruit. Can you give me some recipes or how to eat. It fruits 2 times a year for us!! So I LITERALLY have buckets of them! No-one knows what it is over here! Thanks!!
Beyond the 11:00 minute point of the video I show how I eat the fruit. Enjoy.
Hi love your garden. I have had my guava for over 2 years it flowered but no fruit. It has full sun until 2 oclock. should I dig it up and put it in the sun. I have 2 more guava trees yet no flowers. Whyalla sa
How many fruit trees do you have and What do you do with all of that fruit. You don't seem to have any rain water tanks I guess you have good rain full. In Whyalla we don't get much rain so I have bought 3 water tanks to water garden. would love to hear from you. I have been watching your utube channel for awhile and enjoy them. Thanks Julia
It should be fine with full sun until 2pm. My youngest Pineapple Guava took 5 years to fruit.
@@fredom1118 I have not counted them all, guessing over 100 trees. Melbourne receives adequate rainfall in good years. Tanks can be beneficial in drought but not a real necessity where I am. We eat all the fruit we can pick, birds get 30% overall. Thanks for watching.
Some varieties need a cross pollinator. I have to hand pollinate mine using two trees.
You are blessed with good climate and rich soil,thank God
Tasted them last year for the first time, I was quite surprised about their tartness, either way having planted them in Austria now, they are quite cold hardy, literally one of the few tropical plants which also can thrive in moderate climate with mild frost!
Well done with having success growing pineapple guava! I'm surprised you get only mild frost in Austria, the same as I do here. I imagined Austria having six months of neck high snow.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Well mild frost in the area where i live means, most of the times around 0c or slightly lower and 1-2 weeks in the year around -7c -10c mostly in january!
Not all of austria is bitter cold, the danube area for instance is quite mild in climate and leans to growing wine!
Wonderful trees !!! do i need two trees in order to have fruits? for pollination? thanks
No need
Hi, was looking to get some advice. my feijoa tree flower like crazy but minimal fruit. Bees totally ignore them, I tried hand pollinating but also not that successful. any thoughts or idea? I have two different species together. I just scratch my head every year wondering. just hope to have some fruit before I expire. cheers.
Give it more time. Mine weren't prolific till fifth or sixth year.
I have had mine for about twenty five years. Bought it as an ornamental. Apparently it is not one of the self setting varieties because most years it would produce only 3 to 5 fruits. But this year I got at least 30. Maybe a neighbor has one now? Mine are less juicy in the center than in this video but still curiously tasty. Complex favor that I would describe as “pineapple tutti fruity”. So strange I had to acquire a taste for them though.
Hi , I have a question I never had this pineapple guavas. Is it easy to take care. I live in Ca. I saw a 15 gallons tree so if I buy it is it gonna fruit in a year or longer. Pls. Advise. Thanks.
Pineapple Guava fruits at 2-3 years old.
Hi Do you know if you unripe pineapple guava fruit ripens when its not on the three?
No
What do you suggest is best fertiliser for feijoa
I feed my feijoa compost and deep water in summer.
How many years it is? Mine is pretty slowly growing. Is it tart as an orange or sweeter than.?
@@RealLifeFruitopia mine is only 3 years old...but I don't know whrn it will set fruit.....thank you for your comments.
I’m in Warburton Victoria , can you see any issues with growing them here ?
No
wish I had you as my neighbor!
I wish I had 3 of me as neighbours ! ! !
Olá, sou do Brasil
Comprei uma muda de feijoa
Você tem duas espécies de feijoa para polinizacao das flores da tua arvore e aumento dos frutos?
I can't understand Portuguese. Try in English.
Hello, I'm from Brazil
I bought a feijoa plant
Do you have two species of feijoa to pollinate the flowers on your tree and a greater amount of fruit?
You must have wonderful soil. We have clay rich soil here so I’m growing lots of plants in pots
Loamy soil 2-3 feet down, then clay.
@@RealLifeFruitopia Perfect ! Sort of like a 2-3 foot deep giant container garden : )
Yeah! I’m in Phoenix area, we are complete clay all around, have to amend constantly.
@@brandasar7913 What do you amend with ? I have just been using "Amend mix" and mixing it about 50 : 50 with native soil , as well as thick mulching : )
L O F E N O I A L O F are you in Phoenix area? Compost, worm castings for every tree well is a must. If you can, have a load of mulch dumped in your driveway and spread in your whole yard on top of your soil, must add more once it breaks down in a couple years. That’s the biggest trick. Then as needed you can add your fertilizers and vitamin and nutrients.
How many times a day do I have to water the tree
Water in summer when weather is dry.
I have a baby pineapple tree, about 40 cm height only. Do you know how many years later will it has some fruits?
Pineapple guava tree
2 to 3 years
how much spacing are you using for feijoa?
2 metres
Why do you prefer tree shaped over fruiting shrub?
I prefer most of my trees to be tree shaped. However, along the driveway I like to keep the pineapple Guava as a hedge.
Are these seedlings or grafted?
Seedlings
How long do they take to grow
My oldest one took around 3 years to fruit.
Love your video mate, just a question how long did it take to grow from the little guava to the ripe guava?TIA
5 months
@@RealLifeFruitopia Thanks mate we have so many flowers I guess we will feast in months to come.Cheers.
My I ask what variety is your oldest tree?
It's been over 15 years, bought from a big box store with tags now lost. A rough guess would be Apollo.
Hey, are your FEIJOA trees all seedlings or grafted trees. I have two seedlings side by side and hoping they flower next year. Im yet to taste one.
My guess is all are seedlings.
When I was a kid, I ate the whole ripened fruit, including the guava skin after washed it with running tap water. 🤭
How many years we have to wait till we get fruit??
Mine took 3 years
It the skin edible?
Yes, depends on ones personal taste
The big guava is almost South Asian variety size .
May be if you leave it to ripe in a hay .
It will become 100% sweet.
Can this fruit tree grow from seeds?
I've not tried
@@RealLifeFruitopia O, ok...Thanks for replying.
What variety?
Not stated on label, most likely the common Mammoth or Apollo.
Can you list which guava variety is the best, from best to worst?
If you could only pick 1 guava type which type would you chose for your garden?
I'm waiting for four new varieties to fruit this summer. So far, lemon guava is my favourite (it's yellow cherry guava in Australia)
@RealLifeFruitopia what's the Latin name for this? I tried google but it gives me a bunch of different species
Acca sellowiana or Feijoa sellowiana
We used to get told off for say "heeya" instead here...lol Very Ozzy.
The flower petals are actually edible and very sweet. I'm in Sydney and fruit fly attacks my fruit unfortunately.
I love eating them too.
The birds love eating my feijoa, parrots, they eat the fruit and the flowers and they also get fruit fly in them, so they do suffer pests
rats love them also
8:20 The first pronunciation, is the correct one. Feijoa is native to Brazil, and the "j" is pronounced like "june" (the first one), and definitely NOT with an "r" sound (second one).
Fejoa is actually named after a Brazilian researcher named Feijó.
That "r" sound occurs with Spanish speakers, which is NOT the case of Brazilians, who actually speak Portuguese.
Obrigado!
It's TRUE. South Brazil, north Uruguay and parts of Argentina.
But they have evolved a lot out of Brazil.
Interessante não é?
I bought one of these at the food market and I didn't like it. Maybe it was over ripe. It was purple in the middle
Purple centred means over ripe. The best tasting is creamy white in the middle.
🤔
Hope I can have plants tree
Start collecting now and plant later.
Lol are you sure that’s not a feijoa
Yep same fruit, different name
