New Zealand's unofficial national fruit is not the kiwi, and not everyone's a fan

The perfumed green ovals are known elsewhere as pineapple guava and originate from South America, but they’ve found an unlikely and fervent popularity in New Zealand.

I love Feijoa's, have done for years. My neighbour has a big tree. He doesn't like the fruit so keeps his tree trimmed right back. But we have a happy agreement that he doesn't trim what leans over my side of the fence.

LOL this description of the fruit

[@lovesbeautiful1]

Yes as a kid. They were just everywhere. Pick it up on the way to school .. actually anytime.. Everyone enjoyed them. Why is food that was commonplace now a commodity. Isn't that stealing. DOES THAT MEAN PEOPLE NOW WILL YELL AT YOU FOR PICKING IT UP AND EATING IT?? BECAUSE IT HAS A PRICE TAG???

I really like em. I am in San Diego California and we have several variations that grow in trees and bushes. My coworker doesnt like em says they taste like perfume lol.
