Cross polination (forum)

Fijoa and Guava starts with ...
Please can you tell me what the difference is between a Feijoa and a Guava, and would they cross pollinate? Would I be able to espalier a Medlar?

Thanks

Janet

Different species Janet, pretty sure they would not cross-pollinate. Feijoas often self-fertile (at least partially)..do you have named varieties or generic feijoas from regular nursery?
Dr. Glowinski has most of the answers in his book (Complete Book of Fruit Growing In Australia),
