Great video. I live in Bothell, WA. It's like a suburb of Seattle but get's quite a bit colder. I've grown Feijoa nazemetz for many, many years, and it's seen temps nearing 13f.

Thanks for the videos! They grow in Azerbaijan, too. Usually in autumn we always have them in the markets. Besides eating them raw, you can make compotes, grind and mix with sugar, or make preserves. This way you can save it and use during winter. We pronounce it as fey-ho-a.

Growing a feijoa tree on the Gold Coast.Its growing well have two in pots large pots. We had one in Havelock North when we lived in Hawkes Bay 20yrs ago.Looking forward to it fruiting next year maybe. Will go on your sight for how to fertilize , prune. and general care of a feijoa tree. Thank for the information i have so far.
Hi Yvonne my wife is from Napier and obsessed with feijoas. She has two trees but only one has just started to develop fruit. She has eyes on every feijoa tree in our suburb🤣. We are also on the Gold Coast. Best of luck!
I’m growing a couple in Scotland (I pots and over winter indoors, but go out when warm enough) and got 2 fruits after 2 years with Mammoth, but I also have a couple of unknown varieties which flower earlier and trying to cross pollinate is tricky. But pleased with progress so far. Bushes are getting a bit leggy so wondering how to prune for shape and when?
Feijoa can tolerate a lot more then -7C°, my tiny tender seedlings just took -12C° with minor frost damage on half of the leaves, I´d expect the mature plants could even take -15/16 C° in a sheltered spot.
I live in a suburb of windy welly and am using countdown shopping bags cos I don't have a big section. They seem to be doing fine but I really want the lifestyle block!
I had a seed land in a pot plant. It has grown to almost a metre high 2 years later. Hoping it will fruit. Have to stop moving house so I can keep my beautiful fruit trees!!!
great video watched twice. i was can you use cuttings from any tree you planted to produce more trees in case a variety produce better tasted fruit and bigger ofcourse to avoid buying new trees ? is that a good idea. i need your opinion because i want to plant in a area 600m-100m? what is the best rates betwwenn raws and betwwen trees?
We are planting Feijoas in England and Thank you for your great video on growing them.. Can you tell me what is the maximum distance you should plant them apart.?
I’ve watched a lot of videos on this plant but you included things I hadn’t yet heard. We’re in Texas and our temperatures vary from summer 115 degrees down to winter 15 degrees. And winds and at times hail. Do you think these could be Texas tough as they call it around here. Should I plant it on the north side of the house to be out of afternoon summer sun but will get north winds or in front of the 6 foot lumber fence protected from winter winds but getting full sun most of the day
I would plant it in as much sun as possible. New Zealand has a very temperate climate and we get a mix of all weathers (sometimes hail and full sunshine in the same day).
We've planted 3 feijoa's here in Redlands (Qld, Australia). Hubby's from Auckland and absolutely loves them! This is our first year of fruiting and we've noticed that the ones we've picked up from under the tree each day are rotten and some even had maggots in them. We are not sure why so hoping you can let us know what we can do to solve this issue. Cheers mate.
Hi Cassandra, have heard Australians do sometimes have issues with Queensland fruit fly stinging the fruit, which is them laying their eggs in the fruit which turn into maggots. I don't have experience dealing with these, however have heard some people cover the trees or fruit with a fine mesh. We do get guava moth here in NZ where you can find a grub inside the fruit. For those good idea to remove the affected fruit from the ground and dispose of them to reduce the spreading and reproduction of the guava moth. Have also found it affective to sprinkle neem granules below the trees. Hope that helps!
We have the same problem here in Tallai... I talked to a local guy at the market and he said to use a fine net also ... but also mentioned using a sacrificial pile of poisoned old rotten fruit close by that the flies go to instead .... ( didn't tell me the poison... still need to research )
NZ. has these cultivars. I have not been able to locate anything but seedlings here in the US. Do you have any sources over there that might ship to the US?
Planted 2 tress 2 years ago and both haven't grown much at all, anything I can do to encourage growth. They're still alive but seem not to get taller. Thanks a lot.
Hi Daniel, what type of climate are you in? Maybe try and top dress them with some good compost and mulch and give them some fertiliser. A little hard to say without knowing the growing conditions. How big are the plants? :)
@@TheKiwiGrower in Hamilton, relatively sunny spot. The lemon and lime trees I planted at the same time are now bigger and even fruiting. Coming up to 2 years since planted. I'd say they're around 2m tall
2m tall is pretty decent for 2 years old, but in terms of getting them to grow more, I’d fertilise in Spring/summer and make sure they get enough water in summer particularly if we get another very dry Summer again, as drought can slow them down quite a bit. If you haven’t already, mulching will help to feed their feeder roots near soil surface and retain moisture. Hope that helps! :)
@@TheKiwiGrower my bad I meant 1M tall, seems small for 2 years but I dont have anything to compare it too. Would you recommend using the seaweed concentrate with water then covering with mulch? Thanks a bunch
I just wanted to stop by to say that you're having my dream life!! I can only wish for this kind of life as a software developer in Bangkok. Wanna trade lives with me for a while? lol Anyway, thank your for your videos. I really enjoy watching them.
@@TheKiwiGrower Thank you. I really hope I'll be able to do that soon. Traveling in NZ is on my bucket list. The nature there looks amazing. I can never guess what what you do for a living. I thought your job was about natural resource or something because you have so many plants and animals lol
Hey, I’m not aware if some varieties are more cold hardy than others, I think they’re all relatively hardy. In terms of varieties, I eaten a lot of varieties over the years, however most of the time haven’t know what the varieties were that I ate at different times. I’ve kept track of which varieties are which for my trees, so I’ll do a tasting when they’re ripe (soon!) and see how they go. Honestly though I have found all varieties have pretty much the same taste, the variance is more to do with the skin (thick or thin skin, smooth or rough skin), which doesn’t matter if you only eat the flesh, but I’m a weirdo and like eating the skin too and prefer the smoother and thinner skinned ones :) The fruit quality and taste is more to do with stage of ripeness and your preference with that, which you get better with over time as you get more familiar with the feel of the skin and the look of the feijoa :)
Thank you for your video. I got 1 plant a year ago and it goes quite well but hasn't had any fruit yet. I am thinking of buying more plants after watching your video but Im not sure if I can grow it in the 52 L pot. What is your suggest? Cheers Hanh from Australia
Hi, I've personally not grown them in containers myself, but I know that some people do this with success. 50L is still a decent size, so hopefully should get some fruit, will just need to keep it well watered when the fruit are developing especially. I wouldn't go any smaller that that size though. You can get smaller varieties that might be more suitable for container growing, so you could look at that perhaps for a second tree. They often will take longer that 1 year to produce. Depends too if your tree is a seedling or a cutting or grafted tree. Seedlings can take 5-6 years I believe. If you trim your tree, make sure to only do this in autumn or winter, as they flower on fresh growth in spring, so you don't want to cut that off
Thank you for the information on growing guava. I'm wondering what gardening zone you're in? Also why is that your favorite variety of guava? I'm looking wanting to purchase some I'm in zone 8 B and I have a clay soil.
Great video! I'm so keen to put a feijoa hedge to work as an extra privacy measure but the neighbors back yard is covered in morning glory (purple vine). Any tips for fighting it off?
Hi bro! I'm a kiwi living in Perth(10 years strong) Couldn't believe it when we found a Feijoa tree at Bunnings! Was like finding gold! Lol. Anyway, we don't have any lawn or anywhere to plant it. My wife & i bought a large pot for it to live in. Obviously we won't reap a full harvest from it. But if we can get a yearly feed out of the tree we will be more than happy! Any tips you could give us to keep this tree as happy as possible in It's little home? Cheers!
Hi, I have about 10 Feijoa Trees that are about 4 years old so still small. They have not taken off as much as I would like and are a bit woody, can you recover them by a bit of pruning ? Also 2 have been eaten by sheep so very small with very little leaves, can they recover or pull out and get new plants ? Thanks for any advise
I used arborist mulch. So basically just mulched up trees of multiple varieties which includes leaves, small branches and woody bits too. But you can just use what you have. Any mulch is better than nothing :)
You are so lucky to have such a big range of varieties available to buy in New Zealand, they are really hard to buy here in the UK. I eventually found Triumph, Mammoth and Gemini. The other varieties you mentioned are impossible to buy. Unfortunately they struggle a bit in our climate, although it's not that cold in winter, our summers are a lot cooler than yours on average so the fruits tend to be smaller and very late to ripen, really at risk of frost damage 🙄🙄
@@TheKiwiGrower I get fruit on them no problem , they simply start flowering later than in warmer climates and the fruits grow slower in cooler temperatures and finish growing earlier as well so they'll never be as big or as sweet as yours. Same problem with figs, we don't normally get a main crop, only brebas, pomegranates won't fruit without a greenhouse and persimmons also tend to be smallish. Our daily average temperatures from beginning June to the end of August ( our seasons are opposite to yours of course ) tend to vary between 19c and 25c with the occasional days where it hits 28c to 30c. Sub tropicals and tropicals simply grow a bit slower here 😁
What part of the UK? I grow mine in the Pacific Northwest of the United States in western Oregon and that has a climate similar to northern Portugal. From my understanding extreme southwestern England isn’t too different as the temperature range is about the same as northern Portugal. They are grown commercially here in western Oregon so it is possible to get good yields in a place with chilly, wet though relatively mild winters.
Hi Callum, can you please advice is it possible to grow this from cuttings ? Also how shall I get the cuttings from the mother tree so that they become successful please guide. Thanks!
Hiya mate. Have just got my hands on 10 acca's here in Ireland. They're about 1 1/2ft tall. I live in a large open farm area only slightly protected by a hedge line on the west side. We get wind from every direction. We only have about 1/2 a foot of topsoil the rest is clay. Any ideas as to where I should plant them. I have a LG metal 8m x 5m car shed near the hedge line, roller door facing east. Thanks j
Hi Jamie, that’s great you’ve got some trees to put in. Your property sounds similar to mine - lots of wind, minimal top soil over clay. They can handle wind though you would definitely want to stake the trees when young as the wind can snap them. If you’d like to plant them near the shed, that would work but just make sure they still get plenty of sun. The hedge my mum and I planted on their place is about 3.5 metres away from their shed and it got the benefits of being a bit sheltered and did very well. But it’s really up to where you want to put it and if you want it to be a windbreak for other things etc. Also I’m not very familiar with the climate in Ireland so I haven’t taken that into consideration... Hope that helps :)
@@TheKiwiGrower thanks for the reply, climate here is damp damp and sunny damp. Nah generally winter is cold and damp, summer can get warm but overall very unpredictable.
Hi John, you don't have to prune to one trunk, they grow well either way. Just depends what you're after for the space they're in. Just keep the tree open enough for birds to get amongst the branches to pollinate the flowers :)
Hi Going to plant a small number of trees next spring Can the trees tolerate frosty conditions? We get some really good frosty morning and will the leaves freeze up and die? Thanks Aldo
Thanks for the getting back to me. I will get the trees next year in Autumn and keep them in a pot to get them to adjust to our conditions. Will start with 5 and see what happens.
Do you plant all your new plants like that? It makes sense and has me thinking I am doing it wrong. I dig a massive hole and fill it up with good quality soil & compost as my soil gets very clay-like down about a meter.
My soil goes to clay after about 30cm at the most. Sometimes I mound trees that need a bit of depth and just use topsoil to mound the ground up. Yes I pretty much plant all my fruit trees like video, often with a top dressing of compost, then cardboard to stop weeds then thick mulch. There’s not always a wrong and right with planting, so if your trees are doing well then that’s a good sign :).
@@TheKiwiGrower Trees I have planted are not doing well. Think I am digging to deep and they end up with wet roots. I am now growing new trees in air pots to get real nice roots than I will plant like you have in this vid. Thanks
Tunnelrat6666 cool, hope they start to grow a bit better. Make sure you don’t dig a hole into to clay and fill that up with other soil cause water will collect in the hole within clay and can cause roots to be over saturated. But if you’ve got 1 metre of topsoil then that’s heaps, so should be good :)
I cant seem to get fruit even with hand pollinating. I tried different brushes and even vibrating one. Bees totally ignore my tree. Not sure if my tree offended them. I must be doing something wrong. Cheers
hi there, I am going to buy two feijoa recently, what kind of feijoa do you recommend? I mean such as white goose, apollo, etc. which one is better? thanks
Hey, in the past I havn't know what varieties I've had, so not sure what's my favourite. I know what ones I have now, so overtime will be able to know what ones I like best. Honestly though they're all pretty good to me!

Hi. I live in Aussie and have a feijoa sellowiana and it is growing in a big pot. It has not produced any flowers therefore no fruit. I have had it growing from a small plant for approx 12 months. Can you help please and let me know if this plant is self producing and if and when It may produce fruits. Thanks Sue
We got a tree and it was going beautifully. We had a bunch of blooms and we’re really excited. But recently the blooms fell and we’re worried the shirt might not grow in. Is that normal?
They do naturally grow as more of a shrub which is how I'll be growing mine. If you wanted a tree shape you'd have to pick a single stem and trim off the lower growth and let it branch out further up
Have had a tree for 7 years. No friut. Added a friend as was told to add 2nd tree. It still has had no friut. Had few flowers last year but still no friut. I do live in Queensland. And help please?

I like this fruit, but in Vietnam we don't have this fruit.
I would love to plant fruit trees - especially feijoas but have a problem with possums. Apart from culling the possums out - any tips for what to protect your tree with from possums?
Hey Calum, really sorry if i spelled your name wrong. Love you videos, very informative, wish they were wee bit longer, but it is just me - just keep on doing good work as you are already doing. Question: I love the fruit and want to take it to my village in other part of the world where tempratures are extreme summer is too hot (50 degree C) and winter is too cold (sometimes touches sub zero), not much rain (abundant rain only in monsoon). I understand i cannot take plants with me due to restrictions but can i take seeds? which type can i take them, and would i need germination process for that, and any other suggestion that you can give. would really appreciate your reply.
Hey man, thanks for the comment. Feijoas do fine in terms of cold and can handle to at least -7 degrees C, but heat might be a problem especially at 50 degrees. From what I’ve read they can handle up to about 40 degrees. In terms of seeds it varies from country to country, but you should be able to find information online about your country and what you can legally import. Hope that helps and thanks heaps for the support !
Hi…. I grow feijoa in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, western Oregon. We are in a coastal climate zone that extends from Northern California all the way to southern British Columbia. Our average lows in winter are about 5 C, but we get cold snaps every winter where the temp drops to -10C and sometimes -12C. Mine have never had any problems whatsoever with those lows. Once it dropped to -15C for several hours and my plants experienced some leaf loss. But they bounced right back after it warmed up. In terms of precipitation, we get 80% of 1200 millimeters of rainfall during 5 months: last month of autumn, winter and first month of spring. So the feijoas grown in this region deal with about 1/3 of the year in absolutely saturated clay soil and the rest in a drought. We get virtually zero rain between late May and late September. They do fantastic with only 1 watering every 7-10 days. I would never say this is ideal feijoa habitat, but it is good enough to have commercial feijoa operations. In fact, there is one about 20 minutes from my house called Vial Farms in Hillsboro, Oregon. Around here people mainly grow the nakita, takara and coolidge. Can you recommend any other cultivars that will do well in a relatively cold climate? I’m also curious if you plant so called ‘seedlings’ to help as pollinators. At the commercial operations up here it’s common to plant a seedling every 6th plant to help with pollination. The seedlings are just random starts that probably aren’t true to seed so maybe have inferior fruit relative to the parent plant. Regardless they are still excellent for pollination purposes. Love the videos. Thanks for posting. I learn a lot watching your channel. I love your dragon fruit trellises. I did the same thing here. Unfortunately, I have to keep my dragon fruit in the greenhouse from December until March.
I got introduced to Feijoa while living a year in New Zealand and absolutely loved the fruit, easily my favorite. But I live in Finland and you just cannot get them from anywhere. Winters here can be pretty brutal, in the south where I live we rarely go colder than -25 degrees celsius, but most of the winter hovers around -10. Summer is short (3 months), but can get as hot as 35 degrees, but mostly around 20 (so similar to the south island of New Zealand in summer. I'm guessing that might be too cold for the Feijoa, but is there a way for me to solve this, apart from building a greenhouse of some sort?
You'll need a greenhouse, but it could also be possible to alleviate heating costs in winter by planting a fast-growing tree native to climates similar to yours to cut down to its rootstock for free firewood lol
In my experience they can take at least -12C° but i would not push it beyond -15C° even with mature plants, i´d suggest you build a cheap polyfilm lean-to on your house for them, you can purchase a frost watch sensor and radiator that makes sure to keep the temp. above -12C° inside, which is only needed a few days per year if you live near Helsinki, should cost max 250$ to build and max 25$ per year to operate.
Hi. I have a 30 year old tree.feijoa. it produces alot of fruit every year. Last year and this year I've noticed white spotting on branches. It doesnt come off easy. What could it be? The tree was drastically cut back in September. It's now may.
Do they grow well and fruit from seed? I've been a follower of your channel for a while, was just wondering if you'd be willing to send some of your seeds to the UK? Many thanks!
Hi Tom, yup they can do but just take a bit longer from seed than from cuttings or from a bought plant. Unfortunately I don’t send seeds internationally due to biosecurity, but you might be able to find some New Zealand grown ones over there in a few months time when they’re in season. Have you seen them there before?
@@TheKiwiGrower Ahh right, longer is fine for me. I love growing from seed, was just wondering if they do actually fruit grown from seed as I know some fruit plants don't or if they do don't produce good quality fruits like the parent. Unfortunately never see them here in any supermarkets. Thanks for getting back to me, I will try and find someone who can send me some seeds. Keep up all the great videos :)

@@TheKiwiGrower Sorry and one last question! 🙄As far as varieties go, what would you recommend as the best cold hardy variety and what is the best tasting variety ? Thanks.
Odd question, but would you be able to send some seeds of various varieties to the US? I spent a couple years in NZ, and I love feijoas! I’d love to grow them here!
It depends on the variety as there are different sized trees. You can also prune them to the size you want. I would say probably at least 5-6m, but definitely research the size of the variety first and work it out from there :)
Hi do you know if they’re seedling trees as this would explain why they haven’t flowered yet as they take longer to flower and fruit when grown from seed..?
Hi, I never kept track of what varieties are in my mums feijoa hedge, though the main difference between varieties I find is more in the skin than the actual flesh (some have bumpy, thick skin, others smooth, thin skin etc). In terms of flavour I think it has more to do with ripeness level than the actual variety as only a slight ripeness change can alter the flavour and texture a lot. If very ripe they are quite sweet with softer texture. I much prefer when they’ve just fallen off the tree and haven’t over ripened. I have kept track of the varieties I planted in this video, so when they fruit I’ll know if there’s one that I prefer, but they’re all pretty good :). I also like to eat the skin sometimes which is easier with the thinner skinned ones

great video watched twice. i was can you use cuttings from any tree you planted to produce more trees in case a variety produce better tasted fruit and bigger ofcourse to avoid buying new trees ? is that a good idea. i need your opinion because i want to plant in a area 600m-100m? what is the best rates betwwenn raws and betwwen trees?
Nice work bro. Thanks for sharing👍
We are planting Feijoas in England and Thank you for your great video on growing them.. Can you tell me what is the maximum distance you should plant them apart.?
Good job👌👌😘😘
Thank you great information.
No worries! Thanks 😊
I ❤ feijoa!
I’ve watched a lot of videos on this plant but you included things I hadn’t yet heard. We’re in Texas and our temperatures vary from summer 115 degrees down to winter 15 degrees. And winds and at times hail. Do you think these could be Texas tough as they call it around here. Should I plant it on the north side of the house to be out of afternoon summer sun but will get north winds or in front of the 6 foot lumber fence protected from winter winds but getting full sun most of the day
I would plant it in as much sun as possible. New Zealand has a very temperate climate and we get a mix of all weathers (sometimes hail and full sunshine in the same day).
So I should grow it on a hill or mound ? I live in Hawaii where it rains alot
We've planted 3 feijoa's here in Redlands (Qld, Australia). Hubby's from Auckland and absolutely loves them! This is our first year of fruiting and we've noticed that the ones we've picked up from under the tree each day are rotten and some even had maggots in them. We are not sure why so hoping you can let us know what we can do to solve this issue. Cheers mate.
Hi Cassandra, have heard Australians do sometimes have issues with Queensland fruit fly stinging the fruit, which is them laying their eggs in the fruit which turn into maggots. I don't have experience dealing with these, however have heard some people cover the trees or fruit with a fine mesh.
We do get guava moth here in NZ where you can find a grub inside the fruit. For those good idea to remove the affected fruit from the ground and dispose of them to reduce the spreading and reproduction of the guava moth. Have also found it affective to sprinkle neem granules below the trees.
Hope that helps!
We have the same problem here in Tallai... I talked to a local guy at the market and he said to use a fine net also ... but also mentioned using a sacrificial pile of poisoned old rotten fruit close by that the flies go to instead .... ( didn't tell me the poison... still need to research )
I have three in Phoenix Arizona. They handle the high pH clay soil and 117 F summers just fine.
Great job.
NZ. has these cultivars. I have not been able to locate anything but seedlings here in the US. Do you have any sources over there that might ship to the US?
Planted 2 tress 2 years ago and both haven't grown much at all, anything I can do to encourage growth. They're still alive but seem not to get taller. Thanks a lot.
I believe they're cuttings btw
Hi Daniel, what type of climate are you in? Maybe try and top dress them with some good compost and mulch and give them some fertiliser. A little hard to say without knowing the growing conditions. How big are the plants? :)
@@TheKiwiGrower in Hamilton, relatively sunny spot. The lemon and lime trees I planted at the same time are now bigger and even fruiting. Coming up to 2 years since planted. I'd say they're around 2m tall
2m tall is pretty decent for 2 years old, but in terms of getting them to grow more, I’d fertilise in Spring/summer and make sure they get enough water in summer particularly if we get another very dry Summer again, as drought can slow them down quite a bit. If you haven’t already, mulching will help to feed their feeder roots near soil surface and retain moisture. Hope that helps! :)
@@TheKiwiGrower my bad I meant 1M tall, seems small for 2 years but I dont have anything to compare it too. Would you recommend using the seaweed concentrate with water then covering with mulch? Thanks a bunch
I just wanted to stop by to say that you're having my dream life!! I can only wish for this kind of life as a software developer in Bangkok. Wanna trade lives with me for a while? lol Anyway, thank your for your videos. I really enjoy watching them.
Glad you’re enjoying the videos! Hope you can find some ways to connect with nature 😁🌱. I also have an office job atm so I feel ya man lol
@@TheKiwiGrower Thank you. I really hope I'll be able to do that soon. Traveling in NZ is on my bucket list. The nature there looks amazing. I can never guess what what you do for a living. I thought your job was about natural resource or something because you have so many plants and animals lol
As far as varieties go, what would you recommend as the best cold hardy variety and what is the best tasting variety ? Thanks.
Hey, I’m not aware if some varieties are more cold hardy than others, I think they’re all relatively hardy.
In terms of varieties, I eaten a lot of varieties over the years, however most of the time haven’t know what the varieties were that I ate at different times.
I’ve kept track of which varieties are which for my trees, so I’ll do a tasting when they’re ripe (soon!) and see how they go.
Honestly though I have found all varieties have pretty much the same taste, the variance is more to do with the skin (thick or thin skin, smooth or rough skin), which doesn’t matter if you only eat the flesh, but I’m a weirdo and like eating the skin too and prefer the smoother and thinner skinned ones :)
The fruit quality and taste is more to do with stage of ripeness and your preference with that, which you get better with over time as you get more familiar with the feel of the skin and the look of the feijoa :)
Thank you for your video. I got 1 plant a year ago and it goes quite well but hasn't had any fruit yet. I am thinking of buying more plants after watching your video but Im not sure if I can grow it in the 52 L pot. What is your suggest?
Cheers
Hanh from Australia
Hi, I've personally not grown them in containers myself, but I know that some people do this with success. 50L is still a decent size, so hopefully should get some fruit, will just need to keep it well watered when the fruit are developing especially. I wouldn't go any smaller that that size though.
You can get smaller varieties that might be more suitable for container growing, so you could look at that perhaps for a second tree. They often will take longer that 1 year to produce. Depends too if your tree is a seedling or a cutting or grafted tree. Seedlings can take 5-6 years I believe. If you trim your tree, make sure to only do this in autumn or winter, as they flower on fresh growth in spring, so you don't want to cut that off
Thank you for the information on growing guava. I'm wondering what gardening zone you're in? Also why is that your favorite variety of guava? I'm looking wanting to purchase some I'm in zone 8 B and I have a clay soil.
I would like one plant in my garden😁👩🏻🌾 Thank you for sharing the video 🙏
No worries! Hope you get one growing well for you :)
Any tips for planting in a heavier clay soil ?
Great video! I'm so keen to put a feijoa hedge to work as an extra privacy measure but the neighbors back yard is covered in morning glory (purple vine). Any tips for fighting it off?
Thanks for sharing Sir, how to acquire a seeds?
Hey mate, where is the fruit growing on ? First or second year growth? HM my one has so many water shoots
Great vids! Could you pls show us how to propagate feijoas from cuttings?
Thanks, will add this to my list of video ideas and make this at some stage :)
Hi there, could you please explain why it’s so important to keep the mulch from touching the trunk of the tree? Thanks
to prevent moisture buildup and rot
That cool! It´s a fruit from Mata Atlântica (Atlantic forest). Do you believe that it is little cultivated by Brazilians?
Hi bro! I'm a kiwi living in Perth(10 years strong) Couldn't believe it when we found a Feijoa tree at Bunnings! Was like finding gold! Lol. Anyway, we don't have any lawn or anywhere to plant it. My wife & i bought a large pot for it to live in. Obviously we won't reap a full harvest from it. But if we can get a yearly feed out of the tree we will be more than happy! Any tips you could give us to keep this tree as happy as possible in It's little home? Cheers!
I just bought a fejoa I live in Hawaii it’s hot humid and rainy here do you think it will live ?
Hi, I have about 10 Feijoa Trees that are about 4 years old so still small. They have not taken off as much as I would like and are a bit woody, can you recover them by a bit of pruning ?
Also 2 have been eaten by sheep so very small with very little leaves, can they recover or pull out and get new plants ?
Thanks for any advise
They do have a woody nature so pruning after fruiting will give you a better shape. Make sure to mulch and fertilize early spring and after fruiting.
Fruit fly love feijoa. How do you fix?
Hey Kiwigrower,
Did you use any mulch in particular??
Thanks
🤟
I used arborist mulch. So basically just mulched up trees of multiple varieties which includes leaves, small branches and woody bits too. But you can just use what you have. Any mulch is better than nothing :)
You are so lucky to have such a big range of varieties available to buy in New Zealand, they are really hard to buy here in the UK. I eventually found Triumph, Mammoth and Gemini. The other varieties you mentioned are impossible to buy. Unfortunately they struggle a bit in our climate, although it's not that cold in winter, our summers are a lot cooler than yours on average so the fruits tend to be smaller and very late to ripen, really at risk of frost damage 🙄🙄
Glad you were able to find some varieties! Hopefully as the trees mature more they’ll adjust to your climate better :)
@@TheKiwiGrower I get fruit on them no problem , they simply start flowering later than in warmer climates and the fruits grow slower in cooler temperatures and finish growing earlier as well so they'll never be as big or as sweet as yours. Same problem with figs, we don't normally get a main crop, only brebas, pomegranates won't fruit without a greenhouse and persimmons also tend to be smallish. Our daily average temperatures from beginning June to the end of August ( our seasons are opposite to yours of course ) tend to vary between 19c and 25c with the occasional days where it hits 28c to 30c. Sub tropicals and tropicals simply grow a bit slower here 😁
@@lyonheart84 hang a 1000 watt HID over em on timer for extended light & warmth - pre dawn usually coldest.
What part of the UK? I grow mine in the Pacific Northwest of the United States in western Oregon and that has a climate similar to northern Portugal. From my understanding extreme southwestern England isn’t too different as the temperature range is about the same as northern Portugal. They are grown commercially here in western Oregon so it is possible to get good yields in a place with chilly, wet though relatively mild winters.
Hi Callum, can you please advice is it possible to grow this from cuttings ? Also how shall I get the cuttings from the mother tree so that they become successful please guide. Thanks!
Hiya mate. Have just got my hands on 10 acca's here in Ireland. They're about 1 1/2ft tall. I live in a large open farm area only slightly protected by a hedge line on the west side. We get wind from every direction.
We only have about 1/2 a foot of topsoil the rest is clay. Any ideas as to where I should plant them. I have a LG metal 8m x 5m car shed near the hedge line, roller door facing east. Thanks j
Hi Jamie, that’s great you’ve got some trees to put in. Your property sounds similar to mine - lots of wind, minimal top soil over clay. They can handle wind though you would definitely want to stake the trees when young as the wind can snap them. If you’d like to plant them near the shed, that would work but just make sure they still get plenty of sun. The hedge my mum and I planted on their place is about 3.5 metres away from their shed and it got the benefits of being a bit sheltered and did very well.
But it’s really up to where you want to put it and if you want it to be a windbreak for other things etc. Also I’m not very familiar with the climate in Ireland so I haven’t taken that into consideration... Hope that helps :)
@@TheKiwiGrower thanks for the reply, climate here is damp damp and sunny damp. Nah generally winter is cold and damp, summer can get warm but overall very unpredictable.
Hi, my two feijoa trees have multiple trunks out of the ground and have not fruited yet (2 years). Do they need pruning back to just one trunk?
Hi John, you don't have to prune to one trunk, they grow well either way. Just depends what you're after for the space they're in. Just keep the tree open enough for birds to get amongst the branches to pollinate the flowers :)
Hi
Going to plant a small number of trees next spring Can the trees tolerate frosty conditions? We get some really good frosty morning and will the leaves freeze up and die?
Thanks
Aldo
Awesome! Yes they are fairly cold hardy and can easily handle frost. We get frosts and they’re fine :). Hope they grow well for you
Thanks for the getting back to me. I will get the trees next year in Autumn and keep them in a pot to get them to adjust to our conditions. Will start with 5 and see what happens.
I just bought a pineapple guava bush .. how often do you fertilize it??
Do you plant all your new plants like that? It makes sense and has me thinking I am doing it wrong. I dig a massive hole and fill it up with good quality soil & compost as my soil gets very clay-like down about a meter.
My soil goes to clay after about 30cm at the most. Sometimes I mound trees that need a bit of depth and just use topsoil to mound the ground up. Yes I pretty much plant all my fruit trees like video, often with a top dressing of compost, then cardboard to stop weeds then thick mulch. There’s not always a wrong and right with planting, so if your trees are doing well then that’s a good sign :).
@@TheKiwiGrower Trees I have planted are not doing well. Think I am digging to deep and they end up with wet roots. I am now growing new trees in air pots to get real nice roots than I will plant like you have in this vid. Thanks
Tunnelrat6666 cool, hope they start to grow a bit better. Make sure you don’t dig a hole into to clay and fill that up with other soil cause water will collect in the hole within clay and can cause roots to be over saturated. But if you’ve got 1 metre of topsoil then that’s heaps, so should be good :)
Merci
I cant seem to get fruit even with hand pollinating. I tried different brushes and even vibrating one. Bees totally ignore my tree. Not sure if my tree offended them. I must be doing something wrong. Cheers
Can you grow them in a pot?
hi there, I am going to buy two feijoa recently, what kind of feijoa do you recommend? I mean such as white goose, apollo, etc. which one is better? thanks
Hey, in the past I havn't know what varieties I've had, so not sure what's my favourite. I know what ones I have now, so overtime will be able to know what ones I like best. Honestly though they're all pretty good to me!
Hi, I have one in Spain. It is 4 years old ando no fruited. It started to set new shoots and it's 75 cm high. The plant set first flowers and then leaves or first leaves and then flowers... I don't know if I expect to have this year.. thank you
If it’s flowered and not fruited will likely need a second tree for pollination. Good luck! :)
Thanks I meant that if the tree before starts the new season, first set flowers before shoots or first shoots and then the flowers? Thank you
Hi. I live in Aussie and have a feijoa sellowiana and it is growing in a big pot. It has not produced any flowers therefore no fruit. I have had it growing from a small plant for approx 12 months. Can you help please and let me know if this plant is self producing and if and when It may produce fruits. Thanks Sue
Hi Sue, do you know if this was grown from seed or cutting? Seedling plants will take quite a few years to produce
Very nice 👍 Just FYI …..it would make it easier for you if you get yourself a bigger spade with a pointed rounded end. Just saying.🙏
We got a tree and it was going beautifully. We had a bunch of blooms and we’re really excited. But recently the blooms fell and we’re worried the shirt might not grow in. Is that normal?
The nursery near me trimmed theirs to be more of a bush or a shrub. Any tips for pruning it into a tree from this point.
They do naturally grow as more of a shrub which is how I'll be growing mine. If you wanted a tree shape you'd have to pick a single stem and trim off the lower growth and let it branch out further up
Have had a tree for 7 years. No friut. Added a friend as was told to add 2nd tree. It still has had no friut. Had few flowers last year but still no friut. I do live in Queensland. And help please?
I like this fruit, but in Vietnam we don't have this fruit.
They can grow in areas that get as low as -15 deg, but only seedlings do, grafted bushes dont handle that level of cold.
I found my small tree in a pot got some sticky horrible black stuff on it. What can you do?
Hmm, not sure what that would be but I'd give it a good clean off and make sure it's in a sunny spot with good air ventilation
We have had feijoas survive -15C no problem
Do you need to plant more than one to get fruit?
They can fruit on their own but having a second one usually impoves pollination
Do they need much sun?
I want to make a fejoa hedge along my fence line. How far from the fence should I plant them?
I did this, since they tend to generally grow 2 metres h x 2 metres w I'd say it depends if you want it to poke through/over the fence or not.
I would love to plant fruit trees - especially feijoas but have a problem with possums. Apart from culling the possums out - any tips for what to protect your tree with from possums?
Wire cage. Worth a try
I like to plants too 🤠
Hey Calum, really sorry if i spelled your name wrong. Love you videos, very informative, wish they were wee bit longer, but it is just me - just keep on doing good work as you are already doing.
Question: I love the fruit and want to take it to my village in other part of the world where tempratures are extreme summer is too hot (50 degree C) and winter is too cold (sometimes touches sub zero), not much rain (abundant rain only in monsoon). I understand i cannot take plants with me due to restrictions but can i take seeds? which type can i take them, and would i need germination process for that, and any other suggestion that you can give. would really appreciate your reply.
Hey man, thanks for the comment. Feijoas do fine in terms of cold and can handle to at least -7 degrees C, but heat might be a problem especially at 50 degrees. From what I’ve read they can handle up to about 40 degrees. In terms of seeds it varies from country to country, but you should be able to find information online about your country and what you can legally import.
Hope that helps and thanks heaps for the support !
@@TheKiwiGrower Is it possible that Haroon can get the actual feijoas from a commercial market somewhere and then plant in a pot?
Hi…. I grow feijoa in the Pacific Northwest of the United States, western Oregon. We are in a coastal climate zone that extends from Northern California all the way to southern British Columbia. Our average lows in winter are about 5 C, but we get cold snaps every winter where the temp drops to -10C and sometimes -12C. Mine have never had any problems whatsoever with those lows. Once it dropped to -15C for several hours and my plants experienced some leaf loss. But they bounced right back after it warmed up. In terms of precipitation, we get 80% of 1200 millimeters of rainfall during 5 months: last month of autumn, winter and first month of spring. So the feijoas grown in this region deal with about 1/3 of the year in absolutely saturated clay soil and the rest in a drought. We get virtually zero rain between late May and late September. They do fantastic with only 1 watering every 7-10 days. I would never say this is ideal feijoa habitat, but it is good enough to have commercial feijoa operations. In fact, there is one about 20 minutes from my house called Vial Farms in Hillsboro, Oregon. Around here people mainly grow the nakita, takara and coolidge. Can you recommend any other cultivars that will do well in a relatively cold climate? I’m also curious if you plant so called ‘seedlings’ to help as pollinators. At the commercial operations up here it’s common to plant a seedling every 6th plant to help with pollination. The seedlings are just random starts that probably aren’t true to seed so maybe have inferior fruit relative to the parent plant. Regardless they are still excellent for pollination purposes. Love the videos. Thanks for posting. I learn a lot watching your channel. I love your dragon fruit trellises. I did the same thing here. Unfortunately, I have to keep my dragon fruit in the greenhouse from December until March.
Even the trees are social distancing
How old are they before you will have fruit?
Do you think this plant would be useful in blocking traffic noise?
It could be, they can be pruned well and can get nice and dense if regularly pruned. Hope that helps
I got introduced to Feijoa while living a year in New Zealand and absolutely loved the fruit, easily my favorite. But I live in Finland and you just cannot get them from anywhere. Winters here can be pretty brutal, in the south where I live we rarely go colder than -25 degrees celsius, but most of the winter hovers around -10. Summer is short (3 months), but can get as hot as 35 degrees, but mostly around 20 (so similar to the south island of New Zealand in summer. I'm guessing that might be too cold for the Feijoa, but is there a way for me to solve this, apart from building a greenhouse of some sort?
You'll need a greenhouse, but it could also be possible to alleviate heating costs in winter by planting a fast-growing tree native to climates similar to yours to cut down to its rootstock for free firewood lol
In my experience they can take at least -12C° but i would not push it beyond -15C° even with mature plants, i´d suggest you build a cheap polyfilm lean-to on your house for them, you can purchase a frost watch sensor and radiator that makes sure to keep the temp. above -12C° inside, which is only needed a few days per year if you live near Helsinki, should cost max 250$ to build and max 25$ per year to operate.
Hi. I have a 30 year old tree.feijoa. it produces alot of fruit every year. Last year and this year I've noticed white spotting on branches. It doesnt come off easy. What could it be? The tree was drastically cut back in September. It's now may.
Hey I’m not too sure what that could be sorry but you could maybe try ask on a fruit tree growing Facebook group and someone might be able to help :)
Do they grow well and fruit from seed? I've been a follower of your channel for a while, was just wondering if you'd be willing to send some of your seeds to the UK? Many thanks!
Hi Tom, yup they can do but just take a bit longer from seed than from cuttings or from a bought plant. Unfortunately I don’t send seeds internationally due to biosecurity, but you might be able to find some New Zealand grown ones over there in a few months time when they’re in season. Have you seen them there before?
@@TheKiwiGrower Ahh right, longer is fine for me. I love growing from seed, was just wondering if they do actually fruit grown from seed as I know some fruit plants don't or if they do don't produce good quality fruits like the parent. Unfortunately never see them here in any supermarkets. Thanks for getting back to me, I will try and find someone who can send me some seeds. Keep up all the great videos :)
@@TheKiwiGrower Sorry and one last question! 🙄As far as varieties go, what would you recommend as the best cold hardy variety and what is the best tasting variety ? Thanks.
@@TheKiwiGrower Sorry and one last question! 🙄As far as varieties go, what would you recommend as the best cold hardy variety and what is the best tasting variety ? Thanks.
Odd question, but would you be able to send some seeds of various varieties to the US? I spent a couple years in NZ, and I love feijoas! I’d love to grow them here!
I’ve seen this tree sold in Texas, at least! Maybe a local nursery of yours could have this tree sometimes, or you could order one online 👀
It will grow in India, tropical places, please give instruction of this plant. I bought a self fertile plant. It will good for growing in India.
Are you send this fruit plant seeds in Pakistan?
Fijoas are bad ass!
How far apart would you plant them to not create a hedge?
It depends on the variety as there are different sized trees. You can also prune them to the size you want. I would say probably at least 5-6m, but definitely research the size of the variety first and work it out from there :)
How do they do in full sun ? Thank you.
They do great in full sun and actually prefer it :)
We put in 2 trees 22 months ago I in Tauranga and so far no flowers. Any suggestions re what we should do?
Hi do you know if they’re seedling trees as this would explain why they haven’t flowered yet as they take longer to flower and fruit when grown from seed..?
@@TheKiwiGrower thank you. Yes I think they have been grown from seed. Will have to be patient then 😊
Which of the varieties are the most flavorful? How do keep pests from eating all your fruit?
Hi, I never kept track of what varieties are in my mums feijoa hedge, though the main difference between varieties I find is more in the skin than the actual flesh (some have bumpy, thick skin, others smooth, thin skin etc). In terms of flavour I think it has more to do with ripeness level than the actual variety as only a slight ripeness change can alter the flavour and texture a lot. If very ripe they are quite sweet with softer texture. I much prefer when they’ve just fallen off the tree and haven’t over ripened.
I have kept track of the varieties I planted in this video, so when they fruit I’ll know if there’s one that I prefer, but they’re all pretty good :). I also like to eat the skin sometimes which is easier with the thinner skinned ones
The only pest we have encountered is guava moth. A sprinkle of neem granules below the trees got rid of the problem almost entirely
Hi. may I get Feijoa seeds?
I want to plant them in my yard in Indonesia
Now do Chilean guavas!
