paula-f says... Hi Vanessa, I can help with the feijoas as I have both the Triumph and the Mammoth.....Triumph needs Mammoth as a pollinator, and Mammoth is partially self fertile, but will fruit better with any other variety. I have a low chill "Sunshine" pear and have also not been able to find any info about it at all.

paula-f says... Thanks amanda. From reading some of your posts it sounds like you have way more challenges than me, and are doing extremely well. I haven't had any fruit off the feijoas yet, as they have only been in for a year, but will let you know about the pulp, as soon as I get fruit. The info I got about pollinating was from the nursery I bought them from. I did have 3 un-named cuttings (from a farmers market) before those, but after being in for over 5 years and never even having 1 flower, I pulled those out and replaced with the mammoth and triumph.

amanda says... That's a good tip for me, thanks paula-f! I have 4 un-named one's along the drive and they have been in 3 yrs and done nothing too! Water too precious to waste on any sulky plants here ;) I really like a good feijoa but they are $1.25+ here (each)... a bit luxurious!	About the Author amanda19 Geraldton.
