Feijoa (acca sellowiana). I ordered 5 different varieties of feijoa sellowiana to try and grow them here outdoors. I am keeping them in pots until they are a bit bigger. This ensures that the plants have a bigger root system and is generally helpful to increase your chances of success when planting a borderline plant outdoors.

Borderline because they come from Brazil and even if they have a surprisingly high frost tolerance, growing here in cool, rainy brittany is entirely different to the climate they are accustomed to.

There is one additional advantage to feijoa, however, and this is that even if they never manage to fruit well here, the flowers they make are absolutely delicious and edible. So if nothing else we will get really nice tasting flowers from these plants.
