named variety feijoa cuttings in Melbourne?

epiphany_ starts with ...
Feijoas rank as my fav fruit of all time. But with the whole myrtle rust thing going on at the moment (hence why Daleys won't send feijoas to Vic), sourcing named varieties of feijoa for Melbourne is proving very difficult.

I already have a Unique, which I'm planning on propagating from this year. Unfortunately my Apollo turned up it's toes this year & I'm still looking for another one to replace it. Perry's have a Mammoth they can send me next year. But I'm still on the hunt!

I was wondering if anyone has any named varieties they wouldn't mind sending me some cuttings of that I could graft? Or would be willing to layer some for me this year (will take around 6 months to be ready to send)? Or if anyone could advise a good nursery that would send named varieties to Vic?

I have pepino cuttings I could swap with (Kendall Gold)...they take very easily. Or I could layer my Unique if you're prepared to wait 6 months min for a swap? Or I have a huge variety of other things I regularly propagate off...especially berry fruit & herbs...if there's something else you're looking for.

Feijoa varieties

A few months ago Gardenworld nusery had a large range of grafted Feijoas available including Mammoth and White Goose so it would be worth calling them to see if they still have stock.

Also Masters in Preston had Nazematze, but none of the other Masters stores had this variety. Cheers.
