I think nothing tastes more sweet than the fruit that you have grown by hard work and dedication, shoutout to all the farmers 👍🏼.

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!

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!

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 fruit is so underrated. I think it should be in mainstream like the regular fruits like apples and kiwi fruit!

I missed fijoa so much I searched for it on KZfaq.. and here I am.

Fruiting a year after planting is fantastic!! 🙌🏽🧑‍🌾

I love this tiny tree with lots of fruit. It’s so cute.

I used to love this fruit as a kid, but now that I'm older, not so much. The flower petals are edible and are really sweet :)

Thanks for the update mate, it had been a while! Hope to see updates on the other guys too. Keep it up pal👊

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😊

Beautiful pineapple guava trees ! So inspiring

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

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!

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

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.

Thank you. I re-staked my tree a little bit looser after watching your video.

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😊

can you make an update on how they're doing now? how much they grew?

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 🤞

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.

I almost bought yesterday from Ace hardware but I had no idea how to take care of it but I'm definitely going to go back for one.

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.

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! 🇵🇹

Those look delicious, I think I might try to grow them after watching you do it

I live in the States, I would love to get my hands on some of the plants...You make it look delicious... lol

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!

We had these in our front yard as a kid, my mum didn't even know they were fruit for years. I used to eat them non-stop but.

Today first time to test this fruit and its very yammmmmmmm,the test like jawafa/deepheat.

I am from Vietnam. I love your garden too much. I love vegetarian. I love you 😘😊

Very informative video. Thank you

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.

Great info as usual. I now just click on your videos because your always pleasant and relaxing to learn from.

It's my first time knowing that kind of fruit. First time seeing you. 😁

Yay my favourite tree!! How good after 1 year! Mine took a lot longer.

i never heard of this fruit... they look beautiful.

Support from PORTUGAL🇵🇹. you're a little like me, I love trees and nature in general. I will try to get some feijoa, it's on my list.

U have a good fruit of feijoas.mine doesnt have flower yet ever since grow but lots of leaves already

I like to eat it whole. It’s one of my favorite fruits!

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

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.

Rush munroes creamy feijoa icecream in nz is the best treat iv ever had

Great video I have 6 trees one being a bambino. Dens choice is my favorite

Just found your channel and I look forward to watching more of your garden xx Cathi xx

I've never heard of feijoa. Love mangos so again inspired to try growing one in zone 6a. What zone are you in? 🌸

I was actually thinking about maybe growing feijoa tree one day :)

I'm a new subscriber, I appreciate your videos on planting from seed. Keep em coming👍 Thank you from the Bay of Plenty🌺

i am Italiana gardener , is nice plant

Wow I didn't know that pineapple guava was called feijoe...our variety is very sweet

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

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.

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. :)

We call them pineapple guava here in the states. It really is an underrated fruit that needs more love. Sweet, pungent, mildly spicy, minty, tart skin... Just an all around good fruit.😅

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.

I always learn a lot from your videos. Thank you. Jef

fruit left on face is awesome mate, no one cares. Lovely fruit indeed!, had my first one today.

Thankyou for the information. Much appreciated.

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.

Any tips please for growing feijoa in pots?

Wow , this is a great video, very informative, thanks for sharing my friend 💕💕👍

My favourite kai.

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.

Any updates on this hedge brother? Hope you are doing well!

Damn, you are eye candy mate😘😘😘

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 😊

I have one and soon i will be experimenting,growing it on Pennsylvania

Wow it's cool I wish we should plant that in our farm too, 😍

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

thanks for share your video...greetings from Indonesia

The leaves are good for soaking in the tub.

Wow that’s one of the fruit I haven’t seen, so glad I came across your KZfaq channel, new subs just seen this 😎😇❤️

Ottimo Tutorial 👍👍👍

Very interesting, thank you.

I very much enjoy your videos. My name is Kaelem, pronounced the same as you. I've never met anyone with our name. 😅 Keep up the great content

I love feijoas,too!! I'm jealous of the delicious fruits. What kind of state is it after that?

Thank you for your wonderful video's and the information! I still have one question. Did you try to propagate the feijoa? I bought one tree with the idea to make more myself. Do cuttings work well?

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?

Love it. Thank you for sharing with us. Saludos desde Virginia USA 😉

Nice

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

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)?

Great new knowlegde

Hello, Wow the fruit is very big yummy 🤤

I was waiting for this update. I have this at home. Mine grow up to 2 inches and they don't get as big as yours. I'll try to put more mulch

Wow it has been a year already. Time goes fast!

Very nice.

Mashalllah

My favourite fruit

❤️❤️❤️ 🌱 Wow your feijoa plants look so amazing. I when ahead and order one in Amazon today thank you for the many tips. I also ordered a Chilean guava have you grown that particular plant they look like small strawberries and not related to strawberries at all if you have any tips on that let me know thanks.

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).

Do you have any suggestions as to best tasting between Takaka, Kaitieri and Kakariki?

Thanks for the video. Which variety shall i plant with Unique? thanks

Your trees look great. Please advise the varieties of all of your feijoa trees. Thanks.

Hello from Vietnam

Hi, im new here in your channel, i was surprise you love planting, that was good specially when it was having already, a love also planting fruits

i cleared around one of our young trees and a possum immediately found it and broke every branch off! It did grow back though and its looking quite bushy again now. you have a lot of fruit on such young trees, imagine how much you will have once they all grow! what are the beautiful orange flowers behind there?

Love this fruit! Love u

thnx

good

So beautiful your video, the countryside is gorgeous. Where is here your garden Sir? In Vietnam, we have a lot of guavas but we don't have this kind of guava. I wish i can have it for my garden! 😄
