linnie starts with ... hello.... i have only just discovered ... (DOH)... that my feijoia is a SEEDLING!!! i thought i had bought a grafted one but found the seedling tag (my error, not yours, i must have been in a cheap mood and then chosen to ignore my rash decision for a few years, until discovering the tag).. is it worth keeping for seedling fruit? are any seedling fruits nice? how long is it before seedlings usually fruit? thank you. linnie | About the Author linnie cawongla 21st June 2007 12:37pm #UserID: 15 Posts: 13 View All linnie's Edible Fruit Trees |
Kath Kermode says... Your seedling will not produce the same quality of fruits as a grafted tree but as they all produce a much better crop if they are pollinated you could keep it for this purpose. Seedling feijoas are reasonably fast to flower and fruit, I have seen them flowering here in their pots. They are an economical way to pollinate your favourite variety of grafted feijoa. | About the Author Kath Cawongla 21st June 2007 1:25pm #UserID: 2 Posts: 363 View All Kath's Edible Fruit Trees |

linnie says... thank you Kath, and thank you also, Merv! i will look for a good feijoa, then, and keep my seedling one for x-pollination, and perhaps to graft onto when i find that nice one :). i wonder why mine has never flowered yet, as they are meant to be quick; it has been in the ground for quite a while already??!!??? thanks again! | About the Author linnie cawongla 29th June 2007 2:48pm #UserID: 15 Posts: 13 View All linnie's Edible Fruit Trees |
