How to grow
Feijoas are drought hardy shrubs, and even though they can grow in harsh sites and soils, they do best planted in a soil enriched with well-rotted compost and decomposed manure. Water regularly to help roots establish in the soil, and periodically throughout summer to improve fruiting. Apply supplementary applications of organic fertilisers, such as pelletised manure, rockdust and Fruit & Citrus Fertiliser in spring and summer. Self-pollinating though it is recommended to have multiple trees for improved pollination.
