Now we need a 4 year update! We planted a few feijoas on our property here in Oregon over the past couple years, and our first fruit is hanging on one of them right now! I keep checking it every couple days to see if its on the ground or shakes off. Can't wait to try it!
first heard of feijoa from your video, and now i am hooked on the idea of having my own trees. thanks for showing us all these great fruits and how you care for them. awesome work!
Nice to see growing feijoas growing over there! I am from Argentina, and I planted 3 feijoas 2 years ago not sure which variety it is (recently here we plant feijoas for consumption again, in the past during the colonial settlement of the Spanish it was in every house besides lack of variety of fruits specialy in autumn, but then with european Immigration was left) . Today walking around in the middle of reserved area I found 2 wild large feijoas trees when I pick up the fruits I realized the peel is quite thicker! Now I let them mature a bit more how the wild feijoas taste!
I LOVE Feijoa! Just today i was able enjoy my first couple of fruit from my Feijoa tree at my new property. The addiction is real! I cant wait for more to ripen ❤
Willie Watson (The NZ cricketer) used to have a tree in his front yard that his old man used to let us pick from on our way home from school, they were the best. I'd never seen them here in Australia until recently and my eye's lit up, lol. Most of my Aussie mates had never seen, heard or tasted them before. Certainly one of those unique tasting fruits
Indeed, mine is 2 years on and still no fruit. Thinking it just is not getting enough sun, although it does get about 6 hours a day full sun, which I would've thought was enough. It looks very healthy otherwise, just no fruit.
Really informative. Just planted a couple in Liverpool UK in our little urban orchard. These feel exotic. Never heard of them until a couple of months ago. Excited😊
found someone who loves woodchips, uses bamboo stakes, and distinguishes between hemispheres 🤓 great vid and A+ for starting so young. you'll have years of great food, and spending time outside. well done Mate! i subscribed!
The food that you grow yourself tastes better and is healthier and this guy does not need to the store and mulch is very important bigup a the people who are apart of the agriculture part of the world
I grew my own feijoa plant from seeds. Mine is producing fruits this year and one didn't. The ones I gave out to people are fruiting as well. I selected the biggest and best flavour to grow. It took 4 years to fruit from seedling. I live in Hamilton in the Waikato area. They grow really well here.
@@TheKiwiGrower It was a discovery during my lowest point in life after suffered from depression during the redundancy. Lost my job a while back and start to find things to keep my mind at ease. Gardening taught me to be patience and keep on moving forward.
Which kind of variety is it? (Idk the proper way to call it) but since there are different types. If i get one i would like something like yours since it sounds great lol
W o w! Thanks! I love mulching but have never seen such a great demo of why and how it’s so good! I planted a feijoa a few years ago, maybe four? First year two flowers beautiful but no fruit. Second and third years more flowers and last year (year 3) two fruit….that dropped off early! Grr! Btw I am a retired Brit living northern Portugal and had never tasted a feijoa! This spring….dozens of flowers! So very pretty, and I’d keep them for the flowers alone! Then…our spring was terrible and it rained. Heavily. All the time. We thought we’d lost the fruits. But no much later we noticed a couple! Fingers crossed 🤞 and now, lo and behold it’s apparent there are quite a number out there and they are now falling off ready! I tried the first one. Hm. Odd…tried the second and wow! Super love it! I’d been told they were guava like and I adore them…so now I’m very happy with my feijoas! I think I should be trimming them back a bit to keep them sort of 5ft tall and airy. Not sure when I should be doing that..I now need to mulch more in the spring and…find a sheep..or at least it’s dropping. Hmm perhaps my friend’s rabbit droppings in their bedding would be ok? Thanks so much Mr Kiwi Grower! Very useful info! 🇵🇹
Wow! Love to see a parade/row of tiny pineapple guava tree that are loaded of fruits. I bought mine a month ago and can't wait to plant it in the ground soon. Thank you for sharing. Happy planting!
Mines is about 8 feet tall, shaped like a mushroom, and it's a very resilient plant. I need to add compost and fertilizer so the fruit grows larger. I currently have 4 types of Guavas. This one, a "Strawberry guava plant, and 2 others I'm not exactly sure what they are but one will grow softball size fruit.
Hi , I have some young trees that are a few years old that have not done much and are a bit woody, would you prune them back a bit to get new growth or just add more mulch ? Also 2 have been eaten by sheep and not many leaves, would you pull out and replace or will they come back Okay ? Any help or advise appreciated
My son gave me 3 feijoa small plants that have now established themselves in my garden. They look ok so far it’s been about 7 months and they are looking ok so far in the middle of winter 🤞
Too right mate... I also eat kiwi fruit skin and all. My mates think I'm mad. I'm putting in a couple soon and noted your comments on watering and wonder what your annual rainfall is. I live outback and we get 14 inches in a good year.
Wow I only had 3 feijoa trees and I had so many feijoas I didn't know what to do with them. I hope you will have an outlet for your surplus fruit. Some fruit is better to eat with skin than others. I found the Unique a bit too coarse, but Apollo and Mammoth were much better.
Funny. The comment of planting on the northern side for full sun slapped me across the face that you are on the southern hemisphere. So used to the advice to plant on the south side for full sun. :)
Our feijoas are in an unheated greenhouse. They started producing fruit three years ago and what's interesting to me is that they are flowering earlier each year. The resulting fruit seemed to be ripening earlier and tasting better each year, as well.
Do you recommand to prune feijoas from early on (first or second year) to stimulate full bushes to form together a wind shield or a hedge for privacy (but still let it grow freely/natural way)?
Love them feijoas. I have 6 varieties including 4 unique plants. The unique outfruits them all by a long shot. Does anyone have tips for winter when the leaves get all dark and blotchy. Ive tried a generic copper spray to no real effect. Thanks and thanks for the vid
I wonder if they can be grown in containers in colder climates. Our summers are reasonably warm, but winter gets down to -20C or even -25C or colder. However, my garage is warmer (around -10C to 5C in winter) and my basement cellar is even warmer (5-10C, but no windows).
Thanks mate, awesome tips. Especially appreciative of your to remove fruit or not comparison as I would of just automatically removed but will happily keep on next year when my younger grafted feijoa start to fruit I saw them being sold at markets 2 for $6 imported from your homeland
Far out that's pricey! With the comparison, perhaps removing some fruit would benefit if the tree sets a huge amount for the size of the tree, but yea I was surprised the growth continued fine
Hello, I have a plant that is blooming but the fruits are dropping. This year they stayed but remained very small. Should there be another plant for pollination, is it necessary to fertilize and with what?
I got unnamed variety (from seeding) in a 1 gallon bucket (probably 1 year old) last fall, and it grew pretty good over summer, of course no flowers or fruit yet. and today got another small tree of Takaka variety for 40usd! bigger ones are going for 90, 120 and 230$ I think I’ll get some more of the smaller ones and plant them in pairs unnamed-named variety so they help each other grow. hopefully they’ll catch up in a year or two to those big ones they sell.
Im in the Dallas,Texas area and have a healthy looking plant thats been in ground for a few years. I dont get any flowers at all. Its disappointing. Im going to try mulching, but what else should I do? Any specific fertilizer? Do I need another plant? We had a very wet Spring, and Summer has had a lot of 100° days already. Thanks!
Have had tree now going into it 7th year. Its a big tree. Had flowers this year.,will we get friut? Has a 2nd tree near the first for 3 years. No friut as yet. Queensland has had very wet year so thinking might get friut in April??
You must have some good pollinators. I didn’t get any fruit for four years and I had to hand cross pollinate between five varieties before I got fruit.
Hi there. I'm new to growing feijoa I was wondering if there was something I can do to help my tree become more bushy? Any tips and or advice will help at this point I'm so desperate lol. Looking at my tree now and comparing to your trees, mine looks pretty neglected. I wanted to help this tree flourish before it started to flower. Thanks! Love your channel btw!!! Happy growing 😊
Thanks for the info, Do you think they go better in a group ? I ask this because I planted one tree and it has had no fruit for 2 years. It is bigger than yours but still no fruit
I love feijoas. Loved my 2 huge trees in my garden in Gisborne, so much fruit. My trees i planted from seed 3 years ago and stand about 2ft tall in the pots, look very healthy and tolerated the uk winters very well. But i still dont have flowers let alone fruit. I have 5 well established trees, Should i at at least be seeing flowers by now?
I bought some seeds from Florida and am growing some inside. It's too cold in Canada to grow them. The tree is two years old and no signs of fruit yet :( I do put it outside in May when its warm enough and hopefully I get fruit soon. I used to live in Takapuna many years ago and trying to slowly bring more New Zealand here. I've also got a loquat tree growing inside. Its four feet tall. Any tips for growing feijoas inside for colder climates?
Hey, sounds good! Since they’re grown from seed they can take longer to flower and fruit than grafted or cutting grown trees. Some say around 5-6 years to fruit from seed. I would just keep your trees healthy and protected in winter like you’re doing and make sure the pot is big enough and they’re well fed and they will hopefully do well :)
@@TheKiwiGrower Thanks a lot for the info. Sounds like I have three more years to wait, but I'm so excited to taste the again. Haven't tried them since I left NZ. It grows like crazy each year, After two years its five feet tall. Stop growing from November to January, then takes off in January.
How are you bro I am from India I am also a farmer I watched your video. Do a great job Your farm and the fruits of your farm are very good Best of luck bro
Mulch makes a big difference in the dry subtropics too. Whenever I talk to a kiwi and they find out I grow fruit trees the first thing they ask about is feijoas. Kiwis are crazy for them here.
I am in England and have a lovely bushy feijoa which has grown beautifully for about three years but has never flowered and fruited. It is perhaps too cold for this although it is in a sheltered place.
@@karenmason1980 I live in Hampshire and have a few trees in my back garden, you shouldn't have any issues with the cold winters here. How many trees were you hoping to grow?
@@BuenavistaNZ I have 7 plants from seed but they are still small. Think they come from an Argentinian fruit that I purchased from a few fruit I bought from a green grocer in Chiswick, was pretty small but I am doing it as a bit of fun.

Feijoas are so common in NZ we had no idea they came from south America for years.
I LOVE Feijoa!
Just today i was able enjoy my first couple of fruit from my Feijoa tree at my new property.
The addiction is real! I cant wait for more to ripen ❤
This Kiwi pronunciation of feijoa is the most enchanting thing

I've just bought one and so looking forward to getting it in the ground!! Think I'll be after some more💞. Glad I found your channel, thankyou😊
This fruit is so underrated. I think it should be in mainstream like the regular fruits like apples and kiwi fruit!
It's sad to say but here in south Brazil despite its native it still underrrated :c
Agreed, they're so good!

Can u grow em alsi outside in like switzerland?
What hardiness zone do you live in? And could you tell me the name of the nursery where you got pineapple guava, please. I wonder if they sell online.
What is the problem with my feijoa leaves having a reddish mottled look on the surface? The trees have recently developed the mottling.
Sounds like bacteria or fungus. A liquid copper treatment should help with either
hey man what about pollination, is this variety self pollinate?
Can you grow these trees in a big pot ?just so I can take them with me when I move
Fruit fly loves feijoa. How do you fix?
I just got my feijoa tree in the mail. I'm going to take some cuttings and see if they'll survive in zone 6 with protection.
Awesome! Fingers crossed it goes well :)
