Round feijoas with a maroon cheek and a superior flavour is the description for the Besson strain of feijoa. Its popular in france and the germplasm used my Mark Albert to create his varieties in California.
@@fredericthanron6567 No it hasn't. Mark Albert said that possibly his varieties are related to besson and the variety Marion which you get get from many French Nurseries also matches the original description. Though with NZ biosecurity, I doubt you'd be able to import
Please keep posting OKH and V! I planted a Feijoa in my small unit garden in Perth W.A. and it has gone ballistic! It is Way more vigorous than any other plant in visual range! I was going to prune the middle stem to stop it from growing too high when I realized it didn't matter. The fruit comes to ground level by itself!
Unfortunately while California has a climate similar to New Zealand feijoa is very widely planted as an ornamental but most Californians don't even know the fruit is edible.
Thank you for the recipes. Are the small ones that could be eaten with skin feijoa bambina? Im thinking of growing them as a hedge. Which variety is best for a hedge? I have four bambina plants. Wondering how those bambine ones will as a hedge? If they are good I will need to buy a few more.
