Have you had any luck rooting the trims?

I’ve easily rooted water sprouts that emerge from around ground level on my bushes, but only occasional success with branch tips, and then only when the top few leaves are left intact. I’ve never had scions with leaves removed root, but I’m sure it’s at least possible to do. I’ve only tried once, though.

I posted about the one time I did a whole bunch from all over the bush here:

Any tricks to rooting feijoa cuttings?

Last summer after thinning my bush a little bit, I stuck about two dozen small feijoa cuttings in community pots (with just sand & perlite) and kept them watered through the dry season. Most of them shriveled within a few weeks, but a handful still show green leaves (but not any growth to speak of). I went ahead and carefully washed the sand off this one today, which shows nice roots: [PXL_20220316_221152778] It went in the ground to be used as rootstock next year.
