Feijoa

 I am growing out feijoa seedlings in hope of finding plants better adapted to my climate.

Inspired by an internet site about growing feijoas in the UK i thought i would try mass seeding and subsequent selection. Feijoa seeds, difficult to separate and clean from the flesh, germinate quite easily with sufficient heat (minimum 20 celsius, i'd say) They are rather slow growing and need good care.


My hope is to plant all seedlings outdoors and to screen for the most vigourous and quick flowering.


I have several varieties of feijoa growing in my polytunnel that i planted last year and i am looking forward to taste really ripe feijoa for the first time (meaning grown under heat) i tasted friends outdoor feijoa and it was good, but you could tell it could be much better.
