Early in the season for pruning is when? Love all your informative videos 🙏😊

[@vernekoti900]

Prune in spring time , if you take before this removes the branches reserves that will keep it alive in the cold

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

[@mitre10nz]

Wow that's awesome! Go the bees 🙌 ^Billie

[@ACalmingHome]

Which one is the sweetest variety?

[@mitre10nz]

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

[@amanbath5073]

Can I grow it in part shade?

[@mitre10nz]

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

[@dnangarden2426]

please help i grow it almost one year and ahalf it already two meter but no flower yet? how many year they give a fruit thank

[@michaelthompson9698]

2 years he said!!

[@willemnel1092]

My feijoas in Western Australia fruits become the size of a finger and then fall off. Too hot?

[@Shaun.Stephens]

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.

[@willemnel1092]

@@Shaun.Stephens Thank you Shaun!

[@Bernie5172]

what PH is the best?

[@mitre10nz]

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

[@Bernie5172]

@@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

[@mitre10nz]

Best of luck for this season then eh Bernie! Our fingers are crossed! 🤞 ^James

[@eclipseify]

Feijoas the best

[@tn8584]

Very useful

[@pln8503]

Bi-monthly feeding... all year round, or just in the growing season?

[@mitre10nz]

All your round :) ^James

[@georgestreetorchard]

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.

[@Tunnelrat6666]

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

[@patrickwilson9783]

We did none of this we have never fertilized our feijoas and they're always loaded with more fruit then we can handle

[@kateray1098]

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...

[@jordanrader9281]

I recon I takes 1000 years for a good forest floor give it 500 years even

[@striklylow]

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.
