Growing a FEIJOA TREE from planting to harvest

The Feijoa should be a household name. It is one of the most delicious fruits, the flower is edible and the leaves look beautiful in a vase. It is suitable for a cool climate but can also grow in sub tropical climates. It's a very hardy plant. It really just grows itself.

Feijoas were given away to new home buyers in Canberra (Australia) by the government for decades. they were a popular part of the plant give away because they were suited to our acidic clay soil. In my suburb there are some 50-60 year old trees still pumping out feijoas. It's a pity no one planted one at my place back then. The fruit is AMHAZING - And I only got to know it when I moved to Canberra. I don't know why these fruit trees aren't more popular and famous for gardens.

I wanna grow starfruit and cherimoya from seed bcuz the plants go for over 100 in NZ so us normal people dont grow them at home and they dont sell them or theyre just too unfamiliar in stores so i wanna change that by growing some and sharing the seed around

[@Growyourowncoolclimate]

Yes love these - the cherimoya tree (custard apple) and star fruit are lovely- my climate is way too cold for these two - go for it there is a whole world of under rated tropical fruit.

Great video. I love the watercolor painting. My question is can the
feijoa be grown in the pacific northwest region of the U.S.?

[@Growyourowncoolclimate]

Thank you - yes I think you can grow them in your region - they like a cool winter and would benefit from your mild moist summer. They are hardy so tolerate a range of conditions.
