Aspiring backyard gardener here. I’m fortunate to have stumbled on your channel. Thanks for the good content.

I'm putting this tree into my food forest as a privacy hedge (very noisy and close neighbor). Thank you. This was so very helpful. I can't wait to get it planted!

Feijoa is my no#1 fave fruit ever!!! 🟢 My favourite in whole world!! 🟢😋 Tastes like sour fizzy gummies! I’m so crazy over Feijoa that I’m going to try grow some Feijoa bushes and get my own tree for a free supply of Feijoa! 🟢 I slice them, like a cucumber and eat skin. How anyone can waste the skin is beyond me! Lol 🟢 A lifetime supply of free Feijoa I’d be so content! 😂💚✌🏽 The pink flowers are sweet and edible too. 🌸🟢🌸🟢🌸🟢 Feijoa a gift from god.

I use the peels in my compost pile, very great addition to my compost. Oh, and I use the fruit in my beers! A passionfruit/pineapple guava sour is fantastic!

Thanks Dan that was an awesome inside look at the Brix Meter!

It’s my favorite tree at my house. It’s large and beautifully fanned, a stunning ornamental. When it flowers the bees are all over it. The fruit reminds me of kiwi. Thank you!

Just had my first feijoa a couple of days ago after 3years of planting. Came outside to check my fruits and saw some on the floor. I thought it was rain that knocked them off because some was not full size but it was a lil soft. Couldn't wait to try them. Pulled out my knife and spoon and the taste was amazing. It had its unique flavor but nothing like a pineapple. I have the Nazemet variety And you're right about the kiwi taste.that was the first thing that Came to mind when I first tasted it

👍👍👍😎👍🐶🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 I ones i used to have retained their delicate flavor if frozen but not jammed. My grandmas were good for jam. Always trying to beat the weather, i put many breathable landscape fabric strips (4×3) under a row of bushes and each day just picked up and dumped into bushel basket. Easier to get it done in the rain and cold. Sorting in the garage out of the wind and rain much nicer. Zone 7, against a white stone wall sandwiched between a cement walkway in a slightly raised bed. ( the sweet spot 🤗) Great video. Thank you for your hard work.

Thank you for pronouncing the name correctly 👍👍👍😁😁😁 It's a good small tree, very popular here in Australia 🇦🇺 It can tolerate very hot 🔥 temperatures of easily 45+°c (113+°F) to frosts down to -7°c (19°F) that I know of in my area. They're a wonderful, prolific shrub to 3-5m high tree (if left to grow up). Thanks for the vid, have a great day 👍👍👍from Down Under 🦘🇦🇺🦘

Apart from just being very scrumptious eaten fresh, Feijoa crumble is yummy. It is delicious in baking and juiced. Feijoa ice cream is to die for. My two trees begin fruiting in March here in NZ.

One of my all time favorite plants, I grew up eating the fruits in Southern CA, I find the taste unique, a mix of sweet and sour, now I live in Tacoma, and it grows very well, and withstood a fairly deep snowfall last spring. I don't know if mine is self fertile, but so far, I have only had a handful of fruits after several years. I do nibble at the flowers, LOL. Fingers crossed for more fruits next year---I have no room for a second one.

Thanks Dan for the informative video. I would have loved more expansion on how to process the fruit for making simple syrups and smoothies

Hi Dan, You need to do a book on growing your own food and your weight loss success story. First buyer here. 👍

Never heard of that fruit before Looks sooooo good wish I could try it! 😋😊

Good info; thanks for sharing. I don't have a 🌳 yet, I buy them at the local farmers market, make preserved and jelly. delicious.

I'm from South Italy. In my garden I have two plants of feijoa - cultivar Apollo. Feijoa is the best fruit of the world!!!

Awsome tree/ fruit I have one growing for 4years now I got one fruit last year hoping to get a bunch this year it's time . Best taste

That's a lot of guava. I like guava . Thanks for the tips.

Awesome garden,,,, I just bought a straw berry guava and pineapple guava...thanks for sharing... love to visit your garden... I am here in the desert ...Palm Springs, California..

I found a nursery in my state that sells several varieties of pineapple guava, and they shipped it to me. I’m so excited to grow and try them

Great vid

I have heard so many great things about this fruit. I need to get me this plant soon. Thank you for the information on it 😊

Fantastic information about feijoas !

Thank you.

Great video. Really enjoyed watching and listening to it.

I grow these in new zealand and have picked fruit up to 220 gms .They are easy to grow and very productive.

Thank you for this as a kiwi I eat the skin and all gorgeous fruit

I've tried these before and they failed in our hot arizona summers. Makes me want to try again. Dang it Dan, everytime you feature a plant i want to try growing it.

Some great info thanks brother

My compliment

Thank you! Very informative!

Oh....Mr.Dan great explanation 👌👍

Mashalllahh Amazing

Thank you for sharing- I hand pollinated for the first time and my 5 year old feijoa has finally set fruit. It must not get pollinated as a balcony plant 5 stories up

I find the skins a little bitter to eat whole, but do keep them on for some of my preserves. You can also make a very nice jelly from just the skins, which you strain out afterwards. It has the look and color of an apple jelly, but is delcious with tiny bit of a bitter finish which I enjoy. Mostly, we scoop out the fruit and make jams, fruit leather, or sorbet, or just eat fresh.

Thank you 🙏

Great stuff love it

Wow I want to taste it😊

Woa, i like this fruit. Unhappily, we don't have it in Vietnam

Great and informative video. Thanks!

New subscriber! I enjoy watching your video.

My mom bought one just because she thought it was pretty, and she didn’t know you could eat the fruit. She thought it was purely ornamental! It’s still quite young so there aren’t many fruits and they’re a bit on the smaller side, but they’re DELICIOUS! The texture is amazing. I’ll have to get a tree for myself now.

My Coolidge is taking its sweet time to produce fruit. Maybe next year!

here in new zealand just about every backyard have a feijoa tree. waimea nurseries are good at developing new cultivars.

Ah. So that is what I have growing in my garden

It gets pretty humid here in Virginia. 7a where we are....but maybe I'll find a variety that will do well?!? Thank you for sharing!

I'm in zone 8 and my feijoa has been fine with temps down to 9 degrees.

I have a tree in Melbourne Australia and my 6 year old has only flowered once

Beautiful! My pineapple guava (also bought from HD) is only a couple years in the ground, and just starting to flower/fruit. How long has your tree been in the ground?

What type of fertilizer do you recommend and how often….I have two that have never formed fruit…

I bet those skins from skinning it would be great in some cooking dishes

Good video. My pineapple guava is a slow grower. Only six inches per year. I'll plant another if I can find one.

So i have one, you can see it on my channel the last video but i live in zone 7 to 6B so could i put mine in the ground or a bigger pot?

Where do you get fruit trees and plants. We are in Brentwood zone 9b. Thank you

You think I would be able to grow this in 7a with some wind protection or is this another one to make me even more jealous of your climate? I love the guavas from the store.

I enjoy ur channel... thanks for ur effort..... my feijoa is growing very slowly... it's that normal?

7:37 how did you not slice your hand open, please be more careful, and practice proper knife discipline :D

Wondering if they would do well as a container planting?

What do you mean by this tree grows as a perennial between zones eight and 11? What is a perennial?

How tu Proserve Feijos ❤

Any ideas for my failure? I bought a self fertile variety (very expensive) some years ago to grow in Pays de La Loire in France (winters cold but warm springs and summers). Although this started producing flowers it never set fruit, even when hand pollinated. I then got some seed on a visit to some gardens on the nw coast of Spain and grew these into three more trees, and they all flower, but don't set fruit, even when hand pollinated with the original 'self fertile' one. The best I have ever achieved was one tiny fruit that rotted and fell off before it ripened. I water quite freely in the summer months. My plants are all in large pots, the original one in an enormous pot. I used to bring them under cover but they don't die in the winters. Any suggestions about how to succeed would be welcome.

We live in Oracle Az with a altitude of 4500 feet! We are looking for some different varieties . Tryumph, Unique, and Mammoth. Any ideas where we can get them?

When is the best time of year to plant rooted cuttings? I’m in zone 7

Do these do well in central Texas hill country?

Bonjour J habite en France et je voulais savoir si vous vendez des plants ou des graines. Merci pour cette vidéo

I've tried these in Australia due to the novelty factor of us never getting them. Maybe mine weren't fully ripe but sadly they weren't very flavourful or distinctive. Maybe with a little guava taste

Where can I buy these fruit? Thank you.

I planted 4 trees 7 years ago. NOT a fruit seen yet.? What PH is recommended for them ?

👍

That's alot,you can make a guava jelly out of it.

What zone are you in Mr?

Good video though.

I know of basic varieties, but there extra, extra good varieties and/or does anybody or institution study these plants? Love your video. How do you spell the name of that “tie”? Peeler? Thank you.

hi. do you need 2 of them to fruit ?

May i know what state are you in sir?

In spanish Feijoa is pronounced feeHoa The J sounding like an H. One of my favorites. They even grow where temps get down to 17f.

how many pounds do you get off this each year?

Do these take well to pruning? I’m trying to replace all of my front yard plants with edibles and I would like to have these a little lower for shrub replacements

So I bought what looks like a seedling plant off of Amazon recently. It's about a foot high. Would you happen to know when it will fruit? Thanks in advance!

fa-jo-a xD LOL

My tree never products fruit, it have a lot flowers

Could these be grown in Texas in partial shade?

You cut it in half the wrong way 😅

I have two Feijoa plants, both are about 3 Years old, never flowered once. Im losing my patience slowly.

Make sure when your growing feijoa you get a Male and a female.

How we can get the seeds or sapling from Bangladesh 😨 it is not availabe in our region
