Please fruit this year!!!!

#feijoa #pineappleguava

Fingers crossed...

Thanks I was just about post another plantid but you just answered for me.. I hope they taste nicer than the pink guavas we've got 😁

I planted a feijoa a couple of months ago. Something keeps eating the new growth..damn. How old is your plant, and how many seasons without fruit please Kathy @KathyB

@deekay I've had it for 5 years. It has flowered for the last 2 years but no fruit yet! It is supposed to be self-fertile but I am starting to have my doubts! I have had those tiny green inchworms attacking mine before.

Oh dear, I'll have to be patient then it seems. Thanks @KathyB

@deekay mine might be a dud!!! 😉

I have one it has been in about three years still waiting for fruit KathyB I wonder if you need two ? 😀🌹

@plants all the info said that u only need 1 but that said evrn self-fertile plants do better with a buddy. I dont have space atm for another but it is def on the cards for the future!

Thanks kathy 😊

Silvery new growth.

#Kathy B I have a Guava it is about 4 years never had fruit on it can you give me some advice . I live in Melbourne Judy .

@plants are you getting flowers? If you are but no fruit many guavas are self-fertile but give a better yield with cross-pollination. They are also insect pollinated so you could try manual pollination. It's worth the effort, the fruit is delish!

@KathyB- I bought one of these TODAY! Do they take a few years to fruit and how big do they grow? The label doesn't tell me. The flowers look Devine.... 😊

@Halo9801 hi Debbie, mine is in a pot and I've kept it around 1m but I've seen them at 4m. Mine has flowered but not fruited 😕 I'm going to try hand pollinating this year.

Thank you. I will certainly keep it shorter than 4m. I'm excited to watch it grow. Fingers x for you with the self pollinating. Please keep me updated. @KathyB

@Halo9801 and good luck to u too!! 😀 even without fruit they are lovely shrubs
