Acca sellowiana (feijoa)
Have a couple of dozen fruits on it this year, and some are almost up to a
small egg in size. If the mild weather persists, I might actually get some ripe fruit to taste. I have only had a couple of fruits in one previous year, and they never got to ripening size. Perhaps it's the late sun and mild weather which has allowed this. Anyone else expecting ripe fruit this year? -- Jeff (cut "thetape" to reply) |

Perhaps it's the late sun and mild weather which has allowed this. Anyone else expecting ripe fruit this year? They are supposedly in general not self-fertile. There are a couple of self-fertile varietes, although most of what is grown in this country is seed-grown rather than a specific variety. Do you have just one plant, or is there another plant in the area that might be cross-pollinating for you? I don't know of any other plant in the area. The RHS Dictionary of Gardening notes that there is incompatibility between some cultivars, so I can only guess that mine is self-fertile. The label simply says "Feijoa sellowiana (Pineapple Guava)". I've had it about 8 years. It was about 80 cm high when I planted it; it's now about 250 cm. -- Jeff (cut "thetape" to reply) |
