Oh wow Neil, so many varieties…. I’ll have to check my plant tomorrow to see what variety I have. I can’t wait to get it in the ground in a few weeks and hopefully it will take off xx Cathi xx 😘
Thank you Cathy It’s pretty hard to get a variety usually all sold are seedlings which are still good majority of the time. It took me over 2 years of waiting for my first 4 to be available at Daley’s
Great video Neil, very nice taste test of the three varieties of the pineapple guava. They all look really delicious, thanks for the comparison and thanks for sharing!
Great taste test Neil and guava is one of my favorites! I tried one in Cuba a couple years ago not sure what type it was but it sure beats the supermarket varieties! Have a great weekend 👍😁
Thank you Sandor This I only know by feijoa and is only related to a guava by being in the myrtaceae family It’s feijoa/Acca sellowiana not psidium guava or other closer relatives to guava psidium cattleyanum. I added the pineapple guava as a lot of people know it by that name I don’t think there is much of a similarity in taste Feijoas are one of my favourites and can take a colder climate than mine and produce well
@@ShaqKoyokArt yes it has similarities in flavour. I have always known by feijoa but I know many others know it by pineapple guava. No similarity in my opinion except visual.
Great information thanks. They are hard to find around here and I’ve never seen different varieties. I only have a small unknown variety I’m growing slowly from seed.
Interesting to see the shape variation as well. The seedling fruit is considerably larger. The only round fruited one I have is an unnamed plant, looks just like your Duffy although probably smaller. The Unique is definitely more cigar shaped. I'm expecting a lot more fruit this year from my Mammoth 🤞
Very true on the shape of the ones I showed I have fruit on unique that don’t have the pointier tip they haven’t fallen yet Best thing is so far my seedling was dropping then about 3-4 weeks later the Duffy and about another 2-3 weeks until unique started and I also have a 4 year old seedlings with a few fruit on it and none have fallen My harvest period will be much longer 👍
It sounds like they are all winners and have all different flavors. I like them pretty much all either gritty, smooth, jelly-like as long as they don't have the soapy taste.
Yum! I only have one little bitty pineapple guava seedling bush and I don't know what it tastes like. I need to get some named varieties to plant with it!
If you source some take not to when it flowers, best to match 2 as pollinating partners that flower at same time for a heavy harvest and doesn’t mean fruit will be at same time
Thanks Matt, I agree I prefer eating my seedling over the other but can see differences majority would like I love them, nothing like that tangy taste 👍
We had a Feijoa tree for ten years but it never produced fruit. Do you have to have a male and female tree together or something? I could never work it out.
Gday, most feijoas are not self pollinating and you need two feijoas of similar flowering stage. Usually cultivars are grouped into 3 early, mid and late flowerer. The cultivar unique feijoa is the only true self pollinating feijoa that is available in Australia there might be others also in other countries 🤷🏻♂️
I'm still working on exactly when to pick the buggers. I used to let them fall but that wasn't great. I'm currently doing the push about and see if it falls off technique. However, I didn't even know there was multiple varieties.
@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits good stuff! I went on notification list at daleys for an Apollo scion. I dont have any more room for a complete tree so it will be a multigraft attempt
I have mammoth but has not produced fruit for me yet to taste Nazemetz is one I still have to add to my collection. The rest you mentioned I have heard of from people on RUclips but I have never heard of them in Australia as of yet. I will update on the mammoth taste when it fruits
@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits nice,I have alot of nazemetz and few of Coolidge and like 1 mammoth.no idea which is which.i planted like 6 years ago but I heavily pruned them plus moved them around after 5 years
Gave that to my patients at home with all the other cut up mixed fruits, it was hated 🤣 They said it's too sour. I said, it's good for you. Vitamin C for your immune system.
Bit disappointed cause after watching the video, we still have no idea which variety is sweetest & tastes best? (Understood they are all good and have different flavors) Regarding eating with skin, it's one of the non-important & ignorable part of a fruit.
@@maggiewang8861 I have still not tried the white goose, mammoth or large oval they still have not produced more than small fruitlets that fell at cherry size. I have only heard good reports from other on white goose and very large fruit
@@maggiewang8861 it was not a good year for feijoa in my area it rained heaps while the flowers were out and pollination was very low and harvest was 3 weeks later

Hello watching it from Las Vegas, I am your first viewer and a new friend to your channel
Thank you for uploading a good content, so blessed that I found your channel, looking forward to your next video, all the best to you and yours
Thanks for the taste test, I look forward to this year's taste test with the Large oval and White goose, if you've got time to put it together.🙏
I’d love too but they have not produced fruit yet, there was a few on the mammoth that fell. Hopefully next year I will be able too
wow faforit with guava
New friends connected
Thank you and welcome
Very yummy my friend.
Thank you
Great taste tester iv never tried a Guava definitely looking forward to it sounds delicious looks delicious to ✌🏼
It takes a cold climate and a every green
Beautiful sharing 👍 new friend here... stay connected 👍❤️
Great video! Thank you for sharing, It is so interesting to see different verieties of feijoas and your opinion about them.
Thank you Lien,
I can’t wait until next year when I should have fruit to try from the other varieties
What a fantastic video! You made them sound so appetising that I now regret giving my double grafted feijoa tree away 😖
Thank you
If you ever want to give it a go again your welcome to any material from the trees 👍
Nice my friend! Keep going! And stay in touch! 🎉

I never heard about feijoas fruit before. 😲 It looks like guava to me. Would like to try that someday.
They are delicious
They are also called pineapple guava but they are not guava, their only relation is they are both myrtle family.
@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits why it called pineapple guava? does it taste like pineapple at all?
@@ShaqKoyokArt yes it has similarities in flavour. I have always known by feijoa but I know many others know it by pineapple guava. No similarity in my opinion except visual.
Great information thanks. They are hard to find around here and I’ve never seen different varieties. I only have a small unknown variety I’m growing slowly from seed.
They took me ages to find available
I got them all from Daley’s which unfortunately doesn’t ship your way because of laws I’m pretty sure
Wow, such a variety 👍
Thank you
I have many more varieties to hopefully try next season

Great video sir..thanks for
nice size guava
I love my feijoas
Grit is good. Looks like the local is holding its own. If it doesn’t taste like Juicy Fruit gum I’m not happy😀. Thanks Neil great comparison.

@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits okay, yes I thought we probably should have planted another one there…I will remember that for next time! Thanks 😊

I always wait until they fall then usually give them a couple of days to go softer
Luckily most pests don’t eat them
Thanks for sharing!!!
Thank you
I’ll have a couple new varieties to taste next season also
Cool comparisons Neil!
Did your seedling change is size or taste after you bought other varieties within pollinating distance?
Not size or taste but 10x the yield
@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits good stuff!
I went on notification list at daleys for an Apollo scion. I dont have any more room for a complete tree so it will be a multigraft attempt
@@UrbanBounty don’t buy I’ll send u a bit of whatever u want mate

Thank you for watching mate 👍
Is nikita big and sweet? What about nazemetz or edenvale Coolidge and mammoth? I was thinking buting tin those
I have mammoth but has not produced fruit for me yet to taste
Nazemetz is one I still have to add to my collection. The rest you mentioned I have heard of from people on RUclips but I have never heard of them in Australia as of yet. I will update on the mammoth taste when it fruits

I have bought from Daley’s in n.s.w
Gave that to my patients at home with all the other cut up mixed fruits, it was hated 🤣
They said it's too sour. I said, it's good for you. Vitamin C for your immune system.
I’m always surprised how many people are not a fan of them, I love them and yes they are very good for you also
healthy fruits
Have you tried turning them into wine?
Not yet, have you tried
Is it nice it sounds like it would be
Bit disappointed cause after watching the video, we still have no idea which variety is sweetest & tastes best? (Understood they are all good and have different flavors)
Regarding eating with skin, it's one of the non-important & ignorable part of a fruit.
Apologies for that missing info
Now a year later after tasting more of both I think the unique is the sweetest and better tasting.
@@Coolclimatetropicalfruits Thanks a lot for the update, is Unique sweeter than White Goose as well?
@@maggiewang8861 I have still not tried the white goose, mammoth or large oval they still have not produced more than small fruitlets that fell at cherry size.
I have only heard good reports from other on white goose and very large fruit
@@maggiewang8861 it was not a good year for feijoa in my area it rained heaps while the flowers were out and pollination was very low and harvest was 3 weeks later
Hi. I was wondering if you tasted White Goose and Large Oval this year and can tell us how thee taste compared to your other varieties. Thanks
