Spring 2011: tried some of the fruit earlier in the year. Loved it and promised myself one of these this year! This one was a little bit sad (soil had been washed out of the top of the pot exposing the roots a little bit and he was on his way to being root-bound) but I think with some new potting mix and some lvoe he will be perfect.

Summer 2011: New growth is a good sign but I am getting grew new growth at the growing tips and bright green at the base... it isn't supposed to be grafted????? :O)

Those damned tiny leaf curling caterpillars are at the new growth on this one too. Too wet, can't spray, have to resort to manual termination!

Planted: 2010

Feijoa - Apollo

Comments: -

I only recently bought this when I realised that the original Feijoa that I planted years ago was a seedling (which didn't fruit)! Sadly, I didn't mark it adequately or have it in a grow-tube, and, following the amazing growing season, it was lost in long grass and beheaded the other day. (Plants at my place need to be survivors!) I have cut it back and will protect what remains in the hope that it will reshoot...... ok, some months later, it has reshot! yay... hopefully, above, rather than below, the graft, or else i am back to the beginning of this saga!!! :)
