PS Tommoz, if you like typical tropical fruits that are sweet and extra tastey,by all means taste a feijoa, but get one in the ground ASAP and you will never regret it.To me they rank with the best! mango,lychee,longan,custard apple etc.

How same (or different) feijoa is to guava taste? I'm growing 5 different types of guavas and thought feijoa might be similar taste so yet I've not purchased.

Also, where can I buy feijoa in or around Brisbane? I'm interested in tasting it too.. I've never seen it here.

I've heard it tastes like a cross between a pineapple, guava and strawberry. Indeed the feijoa also goes by the name "pineapple guava."

I'm surprised many people say it tastes so good and yet I just can't buy the fruit anywhere in Sydney. Same situation with jackfruit. Perhaps it's the short shelf-life of feijoa.

Ivepeters, all of my guava trees are very young and I've not tasted any fruit yet from my trees, mexican cream guava is currently loaded with fruits in its first season but all fruits are small at this stage so I have yet to taste. Hawaiian also has one fruit but is small. Other varieties are recently planted in ground.

Db and Tommoz, last year you could buy Feijoa fruit at Coles. I think it was April-ish. Shouldn't be long anyway, as I've been getting some at local growers market for last couple of weeks.

But they don't all taste the same though, so don't judge by the first one you taste - some I bought last week had a too strong perfumey taste for me (my husband liked them though). The ones I got today are lovely. I don't know if they're different varieties, or just that the first crop was a bit unbalanced in flavour being first off the tree.

Tommoz,
I would definitely try them first. I find that they are a polarizing fruit--people either love them or detest them.
Forget the supermarkets. Harris Farm sell them when they are in season. Last year I think the ones I bought came from NZ though. They don't keep too well and I'm not sure the demand is there on a commercial basis.

A heads up, they are a fruit fly magnet here (Sydney).

Here's an ok article about a Qld based organic feijoa orchard http://www.strayedtable.com/2013/01/19/local-farmers-sally-hookey-hinterland-feijoas/ . Db, if you then click on the highlighted green link in the article, it will take you to the growers website, and who sells their product (incl. Brisbane).

I generally don't advertise the feijoas I have for sale as the locals know where I am - since however I am growing them as both part of a long term experiment (16th year - about to start grafting favourites in readiness for PBR registration) to develop Australia-suitable cultivars, and as a community service (mostly for desperate Kiwis like myself who were raised on them), if you want some you can contact me on 0438726701 OR if passing 1985 The Northern Rd Luddenham NSW 2745 (main road between Campbelltown and Penrith, 50 minutes from city) come in (I sometimes put signs up, not Sundays) - I sell them by the bucket (abt 7kg) for $40, or $10 for a smaller container. It basically covers my annual water bill. I have about 70kg in the fridge at the moment. I should be harvesting about another tonne over the next 3-4 weeks. Demand, however is high, so probably best to call me! Potential growers welcome - I will give you a rundown on the ups-and-downs, and tips garnered over many years. Thanks,Leon.

Hey LJW,
Could you give us some tips on growing Fejoa's in Sydney? like, What and when you fertilise? how much/often you water, how do you control fruit fly? and any other tips up your sleeve you might like to share.

Couple of weeks back I paid top $$$ to taste feijoa fruit for the first time ($14.50/kg). Personally I didn't liked the taste at all (but that's just me).. All the fruits that I bought tasted exactly same and had weird turpentine kind of taste... Today again I tasted feijoa in one market here (so mostly different source from first one) and it again tasted same like before... Looks like feijoa is not for me...

Tasted some feijoa fruit from Harris Farm Market. Wasn't overly impressed. To me, the closest taste would be to a passionfruit.
But there is apparently variability between the cultivars, will be interesting to see what my Unique throws up.

The next town up from me has Feijoa's as a street tree in one area!:). You can take a stroll and do a variety selection from a 100 trees right there and then and grab some buckets of fruit while you are there. Some of them are very large and good. I'm amazed some people haven't tasted such a common tree and old fashioned fruit (mostly grown for an ornamental here). Not many people eat them so there's plenty around

Tommoz:I have never tasted a Fejoi. But once about 10 years ago I bought a plant from Bunnings mistaking it for a gauva plant because the name tag said Pineapple gauva and the branches and leaves very much resembeled a gauva plant.It grew very quickly and reached about half a metre in less than 18 months but was disappointed that there were no fruits yet.Frankly speaking I spoke to the plant one day and said that if I don't see any signs of fruit soon that I was going to chop you off.Eventually one day when I decided to remove it to my dismay I found there were young fruits hidden away but it was too late.Even today I am still baffled as to where did those fruits come from nowhere and I still feel very guilty.But now the Indian Gauva tree has taken that spot and bears abundant of large fruits the size of a tennis ball.You can buy ripe jak fruit as well as for cooking from the Flemington Markets in Sydney on a Saturday before they close the gates by 2.00pm.There are two vendors a Vietnamese and a Fiji Indian selling it somewhere midway inside the markets itself parallel to the overhead car park bordering the western side.I think the season has just ended but you might still be able to get it if you are lucky.I saw a Jak fruit tree laden with fruits on a visit to Kuranda on the steepest railway in Cairns.

Hi All,

The feijoa trees in the orchard have finally finished fruiting (there are still two with fruit on though), and I'm down to the last 30kg of fruit in the fridge (not for sale, sorry). The year has been good - Squashed into less than 1000 square metres, a quarter acre, the trees produced nearly an even tonne of fruit which were quickly snapped up by the locals (and a few who made pilgrimages to get some).

So many have asked how to get fruit out of their trees that I am likely going to run some workshops in Spring - please email me at leon.wilson@pf1.com.au to register your interest.

Hi Chris, I'd plant them out now - and if they are big enough/old enough to fruit (approx. 17mm diameter trunk, 10cm above the ground, at least 3 years since graft or 6 years if a seedling) apply a high potassium fertiliser at the end of winter (late August). My feijoa trees enjoy 4 growth spurts per year - approximately one per season, and putting yours in the ground will help them to settle down before the spring growth spurt starts (and flowering, if any, occurs)...

Chris I have them in organza bags so they were safe from fruit flies but I do have fruit flies about and anything that is not bagged gets stung. Worst is my rocotto chillies; every single chilli gets stung multiply times; I am not sure if I should get rid of it because they attract ff or if I should keep them to be the sacrificial fruit. My quinces also got destroyed because foolishly I took the bags off them after some heavy rain and the bags were stuck to the fruit. Luckily I have been able to eat most of my figs; the damage is minimal - they were bagged; ditto the guavas.

In Sydney Canley Vale nursery has a lot in stock at the moment, good size too. Also sunrise nursery at Helensburgh has them quiet cheap. I bought one last week from them and ordered a grafted one from Daleys this week. The plan is to plant them next to each other as a edible hedge and hope for some cross pollination.

Many thanks,

Hi, we have a old giant tree (8 meters or more) in our backyard. For years these "green bombs" have been falling into our garden. I have just realised what they are. If anyone in Sydney's inner west would like the fruit when it's ready, email me. We were going to have it cut down because of the hundreds of "green bombs" landing onto the roof/ garden but kept it cause the lorikeets feed on the flowers. Didn't know it was an edible fruit that people might like! Cheers

G'Day

I'll be back in Canberra next week where my grandparents have a few Feijoa trees that were starting to fruit a couple weeks ago.

I'll be bringing back bags of fruit to Sydney as of about the Thursday following and can bring you some cuttings along with fruit if you need them.

Please feel free to pop me a message and I'll sort out getting you the cuttings and plenty of fruit.

Cheers
Paul - Sydney

Feijoa joe says...
My name is Joe , I live in Perth and after lots of frustration trying to get good feijoa fruit IV decided to start my own orchard. It might take a couple of years to get going but I will be able to supply bulk fruit and I plan to make jam soap ice cream and anything else feijoa. I intend to also be organic certafied.

So if you are in Perth keep me in mind for the years to come please

Hi everyone,

I work for a brewery in Sydney and we're looking at making a feijoa beer but for this we need a lot of them. Is there anyone here who knows where we can buy these in bulk?

I believe Leon Wilson had over a hundred trees out near Penrith. leon.wilson@pf1.com.au

or get a shipment from hinterlandfeijoas.com.au. They are on the Sunshine Coast and the season starts in March.
