Is it a seedling? They can sometimes take a few more years to mature, and seedling feijoas have a very variable fruiting period though it should have some tiny flower buds on it if it is going to fruit this year.

I'll back Rowan up on that one. I've mentioned on other threads here, where I have three 10yo seedlings, all with different flowering and fruiting characteristics from each other. They mainly took around 5 years to start fruiting, one has never fruited, the second fruits if and when it wants to, and the third is an excellent producer with a large pear shape. So I scored one good one out of three. Hence the reason for buying four grafted cv's with known characteristics.

I have got two named variety feijoa trees that fruited the year I got them. They were only about 4 1/2 foot high, but I got a few flowers and about three fruit. This year they have grown to about 5 foot but are covered in flowers so i am hoping for even more fruit this year. On good advice from this forum I ripped up my seeding tree and planted the two name brands (mammoth and triumph) which I would recommened any one to do if you want to be assured of success.

I have had my Apollo feijoa for almost a year and it had beautiful fruit on when purchased. It is about 1 metre high but this year there is no sign of flowers. I have moved it to a large pot in the last few weeks because it had previously been in a spot in the garden which flooded a lot in the winter. Could this be the reason? I have 3 other varieties which are now budding up...
