Feijoa - Unique Grafted ^7/10

I'm from Kaitaia (Nth Is) loved these since l can remember, l live in Geelong it's similiar to Whangarei only on a bigger scale, most people here have never heard or tasted feijoa's.

l actually stumbled on a tree by accident in the middle of Geelong City, people were watching me knock the friut off the tree as l'm slightly short.

2 dozen later very happy and it's only by accident l came across your page even happier.

I ate most of these natural and had a crack at a fejoa, carrot cake (using carrot cake receipe) it didn't last long.

I want to have a go at growing a feijoa tree, and if it does work out l'll try another plant.

This feijoa variety is less vigorous than its other siblings. Its good for smaller backyard and for espaliering which I am currently doing with my unique feijoa. So far so good. The stems are pliable and not too stiff and robust.

As usual my family love feijoas. We just eat them out of the tree. We tasted our first feijoas at the edge of the carpark of Weribee museum in Victoria. Every autumn we would check the two feijoa trees probably seedling grown varieties for ripe fruits and share the loot among ourselves and with our friends.  Yummy !!! Thats when I decided to plant my own feijoa collection.

So far the only nasties bothering my 3 feijoas are the brown and green grasshoppers munching the young shoots. I just sprayed it with chilli and garlic juice concoction to make the leaves inedible for the critters. If I  happen to spot  them i spray them with the potent brew to stun them and then squash them with my hands. So far they are staying away from my feijoas.
