In this video, I share a rare fruit tree that few have tried. The Feijoa tree, commonly referred to as Pineapple Guava, is a medium-sized fruiting shrub that produces an abundance of complex, sweet, tart, citrusy, pineapple-y fruits. Feijoa just may be the best fruit tree you’ve never heard of!

I have a strawberry and a pineapple, they’re beautiful shrubs too and here they die back if we get super duper frost and regrow but they mostly stay evergreen for me here on the MS coast.
Can I buy some seeds from you?
fitted hat
Sell me some seeds.
I love all you videos 🙏 I learn I lot
I am 82 and remember it from little girl love them. Here in san diego they do great I have 3.
You better take your beautiful puppy out for a walk!!! He needs that quality time with his daddy!
🤎
How bout zone 9?
Where do ou find them?
👆 – MY PRIVATE PHOTO HERE 💞💥g💞
Fruiting shrubs and bushes seems less intimidating than trees.
Will cutting work?
Definitely looks delicious.
Have passion fruit on the vine ripening.
I just bought four…cool.
I have been trying so hard to get a couple of Feijoa shrubs established here in Lubbock, Texas zone 7. At 3000 foot elevation their leaves burn in midday and afternoon sun. The 0 degree event here in Texas killed them to the ground. They have been in a hoophouse and have recovered slowly. I heat them with lights and the new fall growth is staying alive. I think I am finally on my way 😌 It's been a tough road but these plants are tough.
I have four if these and agree with you that the taste is sensational. Do you recommend any special fertilizing?
Fejoa grow really well in New Zealand. They're delicious.
I bought what they said was it. It made a lot of small white flowers instead of pinkish red. Very few fruits formed, they turned red and fell off. I actually don’t know what I bought.
What a tease I am 7a, ALTHOUGH, I am building a 12x40x10 hoophouse that I want to keep one in.
We would be very interested in a couple rooted cuttings. We live in 7b here in North Carolina
I love fejoas
Going to try one in a warmer zone 6 in southern Kentucky. With protection I bet it will make it. Love the fruit.
Where did you get named variety from?
The flowers are very edible too. They taste like cotton candy.
That sounds interesting a fejoas shrub I’m in zone 6 A🤔 thanks again for sharing this with everyone
Wow, you have all this, exotic" and nice shrubs. Thanks for sharing!!
I was going to email you to ask about green beans had great looking vine plants two day ago. Went out today and they looked bad. Looked close and a million black tiny bugs on every steam and leaf. I sprayed with need oil.made the leaves look sad. Sprayed with soapy water and nothing was moving. Help
You got to be kidding me….never heard of it. I need to get ahold of Stan McKenzie and get going for a new edition to my garden. Thank you.
I planted 8 in my front yard as a hedge to block the street in zone 8b. They’ve almost doubled in size already. I got a handful of blooms but no fruit formed, hoping to do better next year.
