Hi again,
I was reading somewhere (and here too) that it’s possible to export feijoas to Europe.
I don’t mind how expensive could it be and I want to know if anybody is commited to send me a plant of Feijoa Wiki Tu?.
Please, contact with me at mconde77@gmail.com

Hi!,
I’m looking for feijoa Wiki Tu, but I live in Spain and I can’t find any nursery that sells this plant here. If there is anyone that have a small scion of the plant with some roots that could be ship in a small box, I’d regard generously, and I’d pay all the shipping costs.
Please, contact with me at mconde77@gmail.com

Hi, where did you get your bins for holding the food? I’m looking at buying a system but there don’t seem to be a huge amount of places that sell it. Thanks!

I really like using this easy system but have a couple of problems,/questions: Firstly the organic scraps take months to thoroughly rot down once in the earth. Does this matter when applying as compost? Secondly in my small garden there is not enough room for any more holes/trenches to be dug for bokashi container loads. I would welcome any suggestions, responses to my email address julietraven@xtra.co.nz or any web link. Thank you Organic trails /trials

Hi there
I’d like to grow feijoa in pots (3). Do they do well in pots, if so is there a miniature sized plant say no taller than 5 feet high? What sort of soil preparation do they do best in?

Thank you.

Hi
I live in Hamilton NZ and have a huge very fruitful feijoa that needs pruning. When is the ideal time to prune? Is september/october too late?
Thanks

Hi Adam

Your Feijoa Trees certainly sound like they are seed grown. Its a waste of time taking cuttings from trees that perform like this.

New varieties are sourced from seed grown hybridised material, but only when they prove their fruiting and good habit qualities.

Cheers

Neville

Hi,

I have a few older Feijoa trees which havent fruited for a while. There were no flowers at all this year – and they didnt used to have a lot of fruit. Is it because they could be seed grown plants?
Have people had any results from girdling non-fruiting trees?

Thanks,
Adam

Hi Neville
Do you know of any nurseries selling feijoa plants outside of New Zealand?
Please can you send me some details.
