Good morning all,
In this video I present the Feijoa to you. You might have one in your garden and you don't know that these fruits are edible and delicious.
The feijoa is an evergreen shrub that can reach 6m high. It is frequently used in hedges and pruned to 2m without problem. He pushes slowly.
But it has other strengths, it has a magnificent bloom with pink flowers with red stamens.
The petals of these flowers are edible and deliciously sweet and fragrant. I like to use them as a decoration on a cake or to garnish a fruit salad.
For me the main interest of our shrub, it is these fruits which in the fall, will grow bigger and mature. Small fruits which in size are equivalent to 1 to 2 nuts and which are absolutely delicious !!! There, between the taste of guava, banana, strawberry for some and a pleasant texture of pear, you will be in for a treat!
These fruits cannot be kept fresh so do not miss their harvest. It is best to harvest them ready to fall or already fallen. Eat fresh and if you have too much you can turn them into compote jam or other, indulge yourself!
This shrub with Mediterranean accents, will not like temperatures below -10 ° C, it will survive to an exceptional -15 ° C but will probably not bear fruit and will be hard pruning.
So position it well in full sun and protected from cold winds, this will ensure better fruit production.
Hope you liked this video.
