Good information. I was thinking it was a full sun plant. But apparently it wants to start as an understory. Here in southTexas this kind of information is pretty critical to growing plants well. Thank you.
Welcome back Jay! Hope you are well. I missed your informative videos. You are right those Feijoa trees are very sensitive to the sun; I learned my lesson for the first 2 years of planting, their leaves got all burnt from the sun, then the 3rd year I planted a couple of castor plants in front of them to shield them from the sun, and it worked. I am waiting, hopefully, next year I will get a couple of fruits from them.
You will. If you like pineapple and guava, you will. Just when they start to ripen, put a heavy mulch around the base to catch them and do not pick! Let them fall, first.
I’m eating my first fejioa now. Mine has been in ground for 3 years already. I got 2 this year. My fruit are a little small now. I figured that’s due to first fruit yield
Thanks for this video brother. We've got two guavas, pineapple and strawberry planted right next to each other. This will now be the beginning of the third season in ground, we're looking forward to possibly getting some flowers and fruit next year!
Any time people see j with a Latin/Iberian sounding word they pronounce it as if it were Spanish for some reason. Even when you correct them it’s like they cannot re-wire their brain to the change for some reason.
Mine is a nametz about 5 yrs old in full sun. Shrub has a Beautiful circular shape and loaded with gorgeous blooms. I hope it fruit sets this year. Seems to have taken off with fish emulsion fertilizer.
Many Feijoa varieties are not self fertile so yes you do absolutely need two, unless you have a named variety that states it's at least partially self fertile.
That was great information on this tree iv had my beautiful feijoa tree for 3to4year old and looks like its about to bloom like crazy many buds on it like every tip ...hope the flowers turn into fruit ?
I just planted a few of these a couple of weeks ago, I got them from a couple big box stores but I'm hoping to get the rest from local growers (trying to make a hedge). I've never tried them so my husband says I better like the way they taste with as many as I'm buying. XD It'll be a fun experiment to see which source has the best tasting feijoa. I'm curious, the big one you showed at the end, how many years did it take to grow that tall?
This is a follow up on my Feijoa trees; unfortunately, this is about the 5th year, and they still haven't set fruit yet. They produce a lot of flowers but never set any fruit. I bought them from a reputable nursery, so not sure now what's the problem.
I live in South Africa I bought a house that was a company house that housed an expatriat who brought the feijoa tree for his country it does bear fruit that falls off to the ground the tree is big I pick up 20litre buckets but the fruit is rotten what can I do to to reap good fruit
I have one from Home Depot I planted 4 years ago. No fruit. I put a small seedling next to it 2 years ago but the seedling waa small and hasn't flowered. If the HD doesn't set fruit once the other tree flowers next to it, should I chop it down? It will probably fruit I'm guessing.
I need help! I'm in Phoenix. I started mine from a nearly dead stalk 6 years ago. Now it's a mammoth! With thousands of flowers. Never fruit. 😒 Mine is in full bloom and I need it to fruit! Bees? Bees? What Bees? I've never seen a bee in my super sweet flowers. Also, I may need to make a couple starts from this tree. Any thoughts? Do you sell starts? Also. I'm harvesting the flowers after they've fallen off, for a special concoction.
you most likely need another tree for cross-pollination. or you could graft a scion of a different variety onto your tree. there’s also a thing called required chill hours. I’m not sure how cold does it get in Phoenix in the winter but Feijoas need it relatively cold in the winter for at least couple of months to bear fruit.
@@alembiqueONE Dang! Great info. I have not heard of the need for a cold snap. Every year i say I'm gonna get another starter and never do. And, another year has passed. It'll start budding in six weeks.
@@badasssalsa I think the best thing to do time wise is to try finding some scion woods of a couple or any varieties and graft them on your tree. but also if you’re not constricted with space or money and don’t mind to wait plant another tree.
Hi. I just discovered a tree in our complex with a lot of fruit on the ground . My question is do you eat the whole thing skin and all. Thank you source of identification of the fruit was Google Lens @@ArizonaFruitTrees

Mine is full sun..4-5 yrs old. Nametz
Thanks Jay! I always love to learn from you and see what you are growing.

The word feijoa is Portuguese, therefore the “j” is pronounced the same as a “j” in English.
Any time people see j with a Latin/Iberian sounding word they pronounce it as if it were Spanish for some reason. Even when you correct them it’s like they cannot re-wire their brain to the change for some reason.
Fay ro ah? Hmmmm. In NZ it is a FEE JO AH.

Amazing video ..thank you
Very helpful video
they fruit on new or old wood?

What varieties of feijoa do you sell?

7 Years
Your going to love them they kinda taste like a kiwi 🥝 sweet and sour with a great flavor!!

They're not self fertile. For most of them, you need multiple varieties
Could Lady Bugs be used for Pollinating the Feijoa Guava
When do they start flowering, at what age?
Is your biggest tree a seedling or known variety? Thanks!
What are fruiting varieties good for eating?
What size container do you have them in?
What fertilizer is best?

Ive watched many guava videos. Great info! How are they in clay soil?
I have a farm in their native Brazil, and my soil is mostly clay. They do very well in clay.
do you think these will grow good in texas zone 8? i ordered 5 of these to plant next week
definitely
I'd be happy if I could get them to survive our winds.
can i grow this plant(Feijoa or Pineapple guava)in hot climate?
Like in Dubai?
The weather here is mostly hot and humid, please reply, thank you
Yes, but you may need to protect it from strong, direct sun for a few years.
When is the best time to trim guavas
after winter
I need help! I'm in Phoenix. I started mine from a nearly dead stalk 6 years ago. Now it's a mammoth! With thousands of flowers. Never fruit. 😒

I have not been able to get it to fruit. Flowers and fruits every year but then they fall off.
Do these require and or stand up well to pruning?
Jay do you have contact info

Just found a tree full of these, do you have to peel the fruit, or do you just eat the whole thing?
