The first lot of serious cold in January took us down to an unexpected

gone even those with wall protection have not escaped but the Feijoa
(Acca) is absolutely untouched dispite being freestanding given that I
have lost most of my Phormiums you can tell its been very cold here.


So far my Feijoa has, too - and it's in a large pot. We shall see
how many come through the spring. It does seem that Feijoa has been
regarded as more tender than it is for many years.
