Was holidaying in Europe last two years and saw feijoas growing in; Florence, Monaco and Delphi(Greece) so pretty sure you could grow them, they like acid soil same as azaleas and camelllias. Good Luck if you haven't already got any underway. I used to have them in Blenheim in NZ and am now in Brisbane Australia, trying to grow two, grasshoppers are eating leaves at mo, one tree I have had for a few years, fruit doesn't set properly, have bought another plant in hope it will help so hoping they will flower at same time in a couple of months..Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546063521368248168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-51833380950067151332009-09-22T14:35:17.104+10:002009-09-22T14:35:17.104+10:00I live on the Mid North Coast NSW and want to know...I live on the Mid North Coast NSW and want to know if I can transplant a feijoa tree to another spot in the garden??

The fruit seems to form well ,and we use fruit fly traps. However, when the fruit gets to about hen egg size, all of it drops off over a period of about three weeks.<br /><br />If you cut the fruit open, it seems to be OK, no signs of insect infestation, and no obvious signs of rot. It also smells like it is almost ripe, but it is still rock hard.<br /><br />Do you have a solution?<br /><br />Thanks,<br /><br />Jack VintnerJack Vintnernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-88726233727010770432009-06-18T19:57:56.280+10:002009-06-18T19:57:56.280+10:00Fiji Time... any thoughts on growing Feijoas in Fi...Fiji Time... any thoughts on growing Feijoas in Fiji.

With the baking she just makes the recipe from banana cake, muffins & pancakes & substitute's the banana with feijoa flesh. You can run the flesh through a seive if you like the texture smooth or my sister chops the soft flesh into cubes for yummy chunky bits. <br /><br />FEIJOA JAM<br /><br /><br />Ingredients<br /><br />1 kg feijoas, peeled and sliced <br /><br />1/2 C water <br /><br />Juice and zest of 1 lemon <br /><br />4 Cups white sugar, warmed <br /><br /> <br /><br />Method<br /><br />Place the fruit in a jam pan or large, wide saucepan and add water, lemon juice and zest. Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook until fruit is soft, about 15 minutes. Add warmed sugar and stir until dissolved. Bring jam to rapid boil and boil without stirring until mixture reaches setting point, about 20 minutes. Pour jam into warmed, sterilized jars, cool and seal. Makes 6 to 7 cups <br /><br />If you still have too many left over my husband would be more than happy to help get rid of them, if you live in Sydney.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00674287214714966978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28640064.post-16741004135057482002009-04-24T00:47:00.000+10:002009-04-24T00:47:00.000+10:00Anyone with a recipe for Jeijoa jam?
