I found that honey bees pollenate feojoas, woke up one morning, their where bees all over the flowers, got 90% feojoas that year, incredible good, the size of fruit increase
Feijoas are pretty hardy and can be grown in most soils. However, they do prefer a sunny, well-drained position in the garden. They are generally frost hardy and will handle temperatures as low as -8 to -10 degrees once established. ^Nathan
Too dry probably. They need water to fill out the fruit. People are growing them fine in California (when watering them) so you should be ok. Good luck.
WE HAVE BEEN IN THIS HOUSE FOR 37 YEARS, OUR FEJIOA TREE WAS WELL ESTABLISHED I"d SAY 8 TO 10 YRS OF AGE THAT MEANS IT"S 45 YRS TO 47 YEARS OLD, WHAT LIFE SPAN DO THEY HAVE, IT" S ABOUT 7 METRES HIGH WE"VE ENJOYED IT ALL T H ESE YEARS...
You don't need any of that bagged stuff except the tree. Mulch with your own compost and mulch. Make your own stakes. Spend the money you save on more trees.
Jadam organic farming is the way to go also free. I laugh my head off watching people buying all this commercial shit to grow food not as good as nature and you pay $$ for it lol
Hey Bernie, feijoas prefer slightly acidic soils with a pH of 6.0-6.5. High pH, alkaline conditions can cause stunted growth and leaf yellowing. I hope this helps mate! ^James
In all honesty. Their is enough Feijoa trees around as for when Feijoa season comes it's just a complete Onslaught of neighbours offering at least 1 to 3 bags full of them.
Fantastic. I love feijoas. And so many varieties!! Thanks for this video and all your other wonderful valuable videos Mitre 10. Us Kiwis are awesome.
Thanks Amanda-Jane! We are so glad you are loving the videos 👍 ^Ed
Thanks for that awesome video, great job the person presenting.
Very useful
They grow here in Algarve, Portugal.
Early in the season for pruning is when? Love all your informative videos 🙏😊
Prune in spring time , if you take before this removes the branches reserves that will keep it alive in the cold

Which one is the sweetest variety?
Of these three, I'd say that Apollo is the sweetest. There are a couple of other varieties Kaiteri and Kakariki that are nice and sweet as well ^Meg
Nice shovel is it stainless steel?
Kia Ora Juan - Yes! It's stainless steel and available for purchase on our website. ^ Ryan www.mitre10.co.nz/shop/stanley-spade/p/362933
Can I grow it in part shade?
Feijoas are pretty hardy and can be grown in most soils. However, they do prefer a sunny, well-drained position in the garden. They are generally frost hardy and will handle temperatures as low as -8 to -10 degrees once established. ^Nathan
My feijoas in Western Australia fruits become the size of a finger and then fall off. Too hot?
Too dry probably. They need water to fill out the fruit. People are growing them fine in California (when watering them) so you should be ok. Good luck.
@@Shaun.Stephens Thank you Shaun!
Bi-monthly feeding...
all year round, or just in the growing season?
All your round :) ^James

what PH is the best?

@@mitre10nz yep, Thanks. they have been struggling for 7 years, no fruit yet. I must have tossed some lime in before hand for water melons
Best of luck for this season then eh Bernie! Our fingers are crossed! 🤞 ^James
We did none of this we have never fertilized our feijoas and they're always loaded with more fruit then we can handle
I recon I takes 1000 years for a good forest floor give it 500 years even
