John Mc says... No. But seedlings will take a few years or more to bear. Get yourself a grafted variety, you'll be picking fruit just about in the first year.	About the Author JohnMc1 15th December 2010 9:27pm #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees

Julie says... Or they might not bear at all. I have had a seedling tree for about 15 years, and it flowers but never has any fruit.	About the Author Julie Roleystone WA 16th December 2010 1:13am #UserID: 154 Posts: 1842 View All Julie's Edible Fruit Trees

John Mc says... Yes it took my three seedlings around 5 years to start fruiting. Very spasmodic and no two fruits are of same size or shape or quality.	About the Author JohnMc1 16th December 2010 11:22am #UserID: 2743 Posts: 2043 View All JohnMc1's Edible Fruit Trees

John Mc says... You ll love the fruit of the Fejoa. Probably how it got it s name of Pineapple Guava. It s vaguely reminicent of a sugary not so acidic pineapple with a strong unique flavour. If you get a nice one before the fruit fly move in, it is simple divine. I have recently bought 4 different cultivars to experiment with grafting them onto my seedling trees in the future.
