I finally got around to planting my two feijoa plants.
Suspected Pineapple Gem aka “murky”
Nazemetz
My feijoas are blooming like crazy right now, even most of the young ones planted in Jan '16.
Nikita started blooming a couple of days before Nazemetz. Nikita’s petals don’t taste as nice to me but it will be neat to see if it’s really a dwarf as advertised.
I can’t help on the variety but the plant does not look healthy. Not many leaves and no new growth. That could be the reason for early ripening, my fruit is that size but no where near ready yet.
That poor bush is under heavy shade and is being “maintained” by the blow n Mow crew. It’s only fruiting because it is growing so poorly. The ones that are out in the sun are growing well and have been neatly sheared to hedge = no fruits!
