Hi Inoxa1 Your feijoa won't be in a hurry to grow now where the season is already changing and the growing times is almost over except in the tropics. Expect a lot of growth during spring onwards. I have 3 feijoas bought last spring and they have all more than doubled their sizes. Be patient and take good care of it and you will be rewarded accordingly. Happy gardening :-)

aw thank you very much for this information! awesome news can't wait till they grow more in spring :)

Feijoa - White Goose PBR ^10/10

Comments: - Little bit feijoa obsessed over here this is my fourth purchase from daleys. Arrived so healthy and looks strong. Anticipating a lot of new growth for next year as it has great foundation branches. 

Planted: 2019

Comments

just pruned off the left branch as it was growing horizontally and i was worried for its future fruit set and breakage. The branch on the right is still growing straight so now i'm not sure which one i was as the leader they have created an even wider gap between the two hmmm

kept central leader, top has grown a nice canopy during summer, hopefully it will branch out a little lower so the trunk isnt so long

Where did you find this variety of feijoa? Thought it was only a NZ variety.

Feijoa (Cutting) ^9/10

Comments: - Got this unknown specimen on eBay. I originally had 2 but one died as it was rootbound although planting in a larger container did not seem to help. The other one is happily growing in Osmocote premium potting mix i have since added some, chicken pellets and some blood and bone as the pre-added fertilizer is about to run out. It has growin really well even during the winter. I am hoping for some fruit next year and will continually update on its progress

Feijoa - Unique ^7/10

Comments: -

I'm from Kaitaia (Nth Is) loved these since l can remember, l live in Geelong it's similiar to Whangarei only on a bigger scale, most people here have never heard or tasted feijoa's.

l actually stumbled on a tree by accident in the middle of Geelong City, people were watching me knock the friut off the tree as l'm slightly short.

2 dozen later very happy and it's only by accident l came across your page even happier.

I ate most of these natural and had a crack at a fejoa, carrot cake (using carrot cake receipe) it didn't last long.

I want to have a go at growing a feijoa tree, and if it does work out l'll try another plant.

Feijoa - Mammoth (Grafted) ^6/10

Comments: -

One of these is doing fairly well.  Another is very slow to grow, probably because it is planted in an area where a gum tree (street tree) has roots.  It's also fairly exposed (the one doing better is protected a bit by a fence).  I am tip pruning to encourage bushiness as it will be part of a hedge. However, I wasn't aware beforehand that the graft would be so high so I may have to do something to deal with the gappy hedge that is sure to result.

UPDATE: One of these died in the harsh summer (multiple days > 40 and no rain). The other is ok and producing a fair amount of fruit.  My advice for most evergreen trees in Melbourne is make sure they get a decent amount of shade in summer.
