Food plants - the Feijoa

Selected by Nicole Miranda.

The Feijoa is a very ornamental small bushy tree bearing egg shaped green skinned fruit that have a pleasant flavour. The scarlet flowers are very showy in Spring and are sweet and edible.

We planted a Feijoa tree at Bedlam Bay Community Garden in Autumn, May 2017

FEIJOA Acca sellowiana also know as Pineapple Guava, Guavasteen

We aim to grow food plants with local people who can lend a hand and share the harvest
