Feijoa - Unique (Grafted) ^9/10

Comments: -

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.

Started to flower now in Melbourne after one and a half year from purchase in a 45 ltr pot. Applied Sudden Impact by Neutrog early spring.

21 April 2019, Sporting a lot of big fruits atm. Ready for harvest anytime soon. Happy with the result. Didn't have to wait for a long time to taste the fruits of my labor 😁

This is more vigorous than my other two feijoas (unique, nazemetz). Its harder to espalier this one because the laterals are stiffer and unwieldly. Anyway, I will persevere to bend it to my wishes.

Started to flower now in Melbourne after one and a year from purchase in a 45 ltr pot. Applied Sudden Impact by Neutrog and super phosphate early spring.

21 April 2019, Flowered but has not fruited yet, Hopefully it will fruit next year. Growth is robust and healthy.

14 Dec 2019 showing more flowers than last year. Hoping the fruits will set this time 😎

Feijoa - Nazematze (Grafted) ^8/10

Comments: -

I like this particular variety because its ability to remain unaffected by browning due to oxidation when the flesh is cut and exposed, not  to mention the guava like taste without the acidity and hard seeds. I usually eat the whole fruit including skin and rind.

They grow best in sub-tropic to temperate climates.They'll be marginal in the tropics because they need at least 50 units of chill hours for the flavour to reach its full potential.

Nov 2018 Currently trained as espalier. Has profusion of flowers after just more than a year from purchase. Fed it with sudden impact by neutrog and super phosphate. Growth is steady and vigorous. Can't wait for the fruits to ripen if they happen to mature.

21 April 2019, Only one fruit is holding up atm. Maybe next year it'll have more🤔

18 Dec 2018 flowered profusely this month. I'm hoping for a good harvest this season 😋
